p0: perldoc a2p will give you all sorts of information about the 'a2p' application that is reasonable at how to deal with converting 'awk' scripts into perl code. a way of looking at that can be sorta seen with say: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/misc/sh_to_perl.txt since what you will want to become aware of is how to do things with 'split' cf: perldoc -f split but be forewarned I have little patience for doing what, well, ok, what I did early on: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Weird/bloopers/slovenA2P.txt since, well it was just stoopidly simpler to slovenly use a2p to make perl like scripts from awk stuff - and then just cut and paste it into the script where I needed it... [..] > For example with awk I used to get a column from the ps or ls -l command. p1: here you will need to get into more of the gory details of how to do 'perl as perl' - cf perldoc perl as the 'root' of the online information p2: my general list of URL's for doing fun with perl is http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perldoc/ you will find some of the on-line tutorials there.... p3: in the main perl does not require that you be Franz Kafka to figure it out.... but there are places where IT IS DANGEROUS!!!
