While VisualPerl might be a GUI way to do it, I personally would recommend reading the Perl man pages and then using either a command line text editor (such as vi, pico, or emacs (I am using these examples because the original msg stated that Mr. Edwin is using RH7.2)) or ktext (I think that is what it is called) for writing the script, and just tyiping in the appropriate commands to invoke perl and run the script (in windows at the command line this is "perl <program name>", not sure about Linux). Either way, RTFM is the way to go. -- Dragon Nebula Web Design.
