Hi Brandon, Thanks for your response.
Getopt::Std seems to be the simplest one, so am tryiing that one out first :-) Am just trying to port 1:1. Quite painful trying to figure out how to get awk-like behavior in Perl especially when trying to do some calculation on some specific fields. I've seen Getopt::Long and is checking on it right now. I "gave" up on it before trying to follow how it works which is why I've flipped back to using Getop::Std as I find it "easier" to follow. Need more exercises on hash arrays and references I guess.
