In case your wondering about the 2 blank posts above. I had a question about something but I figured it out so I just deleted their contents. It seems that I might be done with the Perl portion of my scripts. Now onto a Shell script to execute and mail the output of my Perl script.
I wanna thank everyone who posted, and I feel much more comfortable with Perl now.
If you want to see my final code just send me a post and I'll put it up on here.
