You can learn how to whip up a short utility script in a few days (or even a few hours), and work it up from there. -- Erez It's time to grow out of the browser; we have nothing to lose but our metaphors. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
