Thanks Telemachus, I must admit I feel kinda bad here... I have a bit of difficulty knowing what a Perl beginner is... please bear with me. My dilemma is that I can't call myself anything but a beginner (or perhaps maybe an intermediate). My (technological) expertise resides in routing packets. I am advanced in designing and addressing a network, and advanced in troubleshooting and identifying packet delivery (on an Internet-size scale). I didn't spend much time with IRC, and was more focused on automating server/network tasks on FreeBSD when many were likely using newsgroups. (I got into the scene significantly in '98). The ISP that I started working for not-long-after dropped all news activity because of abuse (bandwidth limitations). So, I apologize for asking questions that don't belong here, but I do still think that I'm a beginner. Perhaps the qualification of 'non-beginner' resides in knowing other places to ask questions? I've just started on PerlMonks, and have also paid for a news subscription. ... I just love to learn, and I don't really care where the info comes from. I appreciate that some of my questions don't belong here, but as a beginner, I don't know if any of my replies do either ;) Steve
