how would this be done with awk, egrep or sed. My guess is, the same as with Perl, as Perl luckily has this great compatibility to `awk`: `perl -ne 'print if m!^10/./2003! ... m!^11/./2003!' snmp.log` [download] I guess you pick up a UNIX oriented book about Perl which caters for your shell background, and learn how Perl can help you in your day-to-day tasks. `perl -MHTTP::Daemon -MHTTP::Response -MLWP::Simple -e ' ; # The $d = new HTTP::Daemon and fork and getprint $d->url and exit;#spider ($c = $d->accept())->get_request(); $c->send_response( new #in the HTTP::Response(200,$_,$_,qq(Just another Perl hacker\n))); ' # web` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
