Hello Mr.Schwartz,

Help means something different to everyone. I visit perl forums in hopes that someday I will be able to help others with understanding and possibly solving a problem with a script.

Understanding that you are person who gives of your own time and talent to promote your love of perl. I am not sure what your intent was with your reply.
I believe that by indicating I am still new to perl that the question of authorship has previously been addressed. As far as contacting the author the answer is no, if I am successful in any modifications to the script I would contact the author.

I am trying to modify the script for a non-profit organization - they can't afford a paid programmer - 100% of the work that I do is donated.

It maybe difficult for you to remember back to a time that you needed some help not just with perl but anything.

If you were offering help please continue reading.

Thank You
Cal
