Anyone else notice that the case is different between Ticket in the shell sample, and TICKET in the Perl script? Does that matter? I have no idea -- off hand I don't know what the -i does for the Java compiler. Just an observation.

Update: I didn't have time to look earlier, but just took a minute and found the docs for command line options on Windows, Solaris, and Linux. None of which indicated an option of -i. So if someone could tell me what that switch is supposed to do, I'd appreciate it (if only to satisfy my curiosity).
