Fellow monk, if I could vote you up anymore I would. You are correct! It did not occur to me that perl is invoked for every instance of output from ls. Thus, it was not necessary to push the output of ls into a while loop (unles I wanted to do something more granular to the output of each instance from ls). Thanks a bunch! See? It was something I was doing wrong! :)

Another lesson learned! I'll log that away! :) Thank you much!
