in thread code for review?

Thanks.
Thats the kinda stuff I needed. Although I did use Term::ReadLine because I am running this on Cygwin and it does not handle mistakes in typing well. If I type in W, then backspace over W and type in L for example the the storage file gets WL written to it

    Ah, fair enough. I only ever use cygwin for diff and tar and gzip to be frank. You don't need cygwin to do perl on Win32 of course.

      You can use Cygwin for a lot more, and it's a lot nicer, imho, than using ActivePerl. But, then again, I'm a vi-nazi who doesn't see the point of GUI IDEs. :-)

      Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
      Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
      Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
      Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

        Yea
        I worked with unix all the time but since I changed jobs I've been forced to use Windows. My Cygwin is my link to sanity. I still do everything I want to on Windows through the Linux Utilities of Cygwin
        I know that this is off-topic from perl so sorry about that but I feel I should sing the praises of Cygwin
