I posted a reply this morning in response to several messages here, and I included two different versions of the script I'm using that keeps failing. I posted my reply through the google groups interface but my post does not show up at the google site and it's been about 8 hours since posting. How long does it take for posts to show up if one uses the google interface because this delay is absurd? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
