"Using /bin/grep, awk, and /bin/kill inside Perl! Blasphemy! !! Friar, where is the hot oil?? ;)"

You are right and this is funny. :)

"And that still leaves much room for improvement (and I didn't test this either, sorry)."

I find this one somewhat insulting. I came here to learn. If you read my description maybe you would have been more kind. I posted it bellow so you could read it.

I am sure this is the hard way,but its how I did it and it works. I would like to see the easy way though.

"I'm never sure why people bring out the flamethrower to light a candle. I have a little rant on "please stop using kill -9" that I post to comp.unix.questions when I see postings like this. Basically, -9 is harmful because it doesn't give the process a chance to clean up. Try a 2, a 1, and a 15, waiting 1 second each time. If all those fail, then a 9.

Also, -9 is "kill 9 to everyone in the process group". You want +9, certainly!"

I used kill 9, because it is a poorly written stubborn process that will not die any other way. You make some good points.

Does code make a sound if no one is there to type it?

    I'm terribly sorry. In hind site I see where that would come off as insulting. I was trying to refer to my code that I had just thrown in very quickly and which had much room for improvement (and wasn't tested). I did not mean to imply criticism of your code, especially such harsh criticism.

    I don't mind harshly criticizing my own code. But in my zeal to save face by criticizing my own code before anyone else could I inadvertantly was very rude. Again, I'm sorry for that. I'll try to be more careful in future.

    And thanks for pointing this out. It is often easier to just mutter "a**hole" and walk away. I usually try hard to not be an a**hole but am still frustrated to realize that I never the less am one sometimes.

    So I offer a belated "Welcome!" to the Monastery. It is a fine place to learn and most of us aren't jerks most of the time. (:

      I understand and accept. :) I can see your point of view on this. I gave you a point for the last post. I will never remain silent if something is on my mind. I have been on perlmonks for a long time. I just haven't visited lately. I have been playing video games, working, etc. My perl skills are not that great, but I try to dabble.
