Omabele, I'd say you need to determine the requirements (like what needs to be monitored), and then choose the tools best suited to meet those requirements. Chances are that Perl alone will not be the final solution to all of your monitoring needs. There are many freely available network and de

Hello, I am not sure, why you want to 'do Nothing' about the contents of the file. if you change gif to jpg, it will conflict the formats. Try this for just changing names: $a='1.x.jpg'; # first file.. $b='3.gif'; # second file.. if ( "$a:$b" =~ /(.*)\.([^\.]+):(.*)\.([^\.]+)/) {
