I hate to have to do 2 scripts although I see what you're saying.
I wonder if it would work if I was to assign a filehandle to the variable somehow
I'll take a gander at perldoc -q filehandle and see what I can see
I'll try to test this by hand and see what happens and let the list know
Meanwhile any ideas/wisdom is always appreciated
