Hi All,

I was looking for different ways to emulate Unix commands for my poor 'ole Windows.
I came against "Perl Power Tools: The Unix Reconstruction Project" which has been very useful,
but now I want to compile a list of useful one-liners (the kind run perl -ne).
I didn't find any serious collection anywhere (including the Monastary, although, being new,
I may not yet be very adept at finding what I need here).

Does anyone know where I can find things like "counting the lines in a file", "print lines 5 thru 70
to STDOUT" or "print the second column"? I have written a couple, and could write more,
I'm just looking for some reuse.

I also think this might be a good subject to node somehow.

Thanks,
me
