Thanks. Those ideas seem to work, and the funny thing is, i do know about chomping and forgot to do it. I use -w when calling the scripts.

One pickle.. I am using winXp, and ActivePerl and when i add USE STRICT, my script blows up on me with GLOBAL SYMBOL error statements. It pretty much complains about everything from line 22 and down, "requiring explicit package name..." for the different variables the script encounters.

Also, after adding the chomp, and pulling out the \n print, I have to hit return twice, but it does use the provided default. Any thoughts?

Again, thank you everyone.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
