Wow! Thanks for the quick replies, people. Now I get to play with several approaches.
Are there any good books (starting at a basic level working up) for things like this? Perl seems to be a hot thing for Linux (as well as shell programming/scripting). While it will take me a while to get up the curve, it would be nice to have so good refernces around.
