linux environment. have o'reilly cookbook & learning perl (2nd ed.). desire to randomly choose a filename of mp3 files in a directory containing only mp3's.
then, write the name of this filename to a file that has "http://myurl.org/mywebpath/..."; inserted before the filename so that i end up with a file that can be inserted into an email (or mailed straightaway to a list). i am confused about alot, but first, do i need to read the directory filenames into a list, and then randomly choose one, or is their a function which will do so? if such a function does exist and is inside one of the books mentioned, merely pointing me in the right direction would be very helpful. i do want to figure this out. ken _____________________________________ http://quantifier.org GnuPG: 7C828670 perfect guest: One who makes his host feel at home. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
