    I'm not sure, as I've not tried it yet... in fact I <embarassed> didn't even know about it. Now that I know I wonder wether it would be sensible to remove the whole thing...
      Don't be embarrased...that wasn't my intent. On the plus side, you learned something and you stretched your perl muscles in the process. That's never worth nothing (double negative aside).
