Chris,

I was very excited to try your suggestion, but it doesn't work with my current version of perl. So...#1 - how do I find out what version of perl is installed?

What minimum version should I upgrade to? First thing today I tried to download & install version 5.8.4 from perl.com (to my own machine before putting it on the server). I added this new perl directory to my environment variables, but still getting an error that "Can't locate Tie/File.pm in @INC at LogHist2.pl (my script name) line 4."

Thanks again
