BrowserUk: I don't normally tie programs together in perl, thus I rarely use `fork` or `open` to connect programs together. Hence, I just used the first one I thought of. As I'm a C/C++ programmer, `fork` naturally came to mind. Perhaps I'll think of `open` next time... ;^) ...roboticus	[reply] [d/l] [select]
