[NTLUG:Discuss] CSH to Perl conversions

[Paul Drew]

Hello,
Thats fair enough, and I appreciate your quick response. Thats what I 
figured, and to be honest it is ok, but I would not be a good techie if I 
just tried to do it the hard way, and didn't look for easier way that was 
more efficient etc. Thanks again, I do really appreciate your time.
