I would imagine linux's head command can be replaced w/ chop I asked this because I have a filehandle which was,
open $source, '/tmp/server.txt' ( and no doing head -1 /tmp/server.txt is not an option since I need to go through some other stuff
before i need to issue below command ) and I wanted to do my $top = `head -1 $source` my $bottom = `tail -1 $source` but I realized I cannot do $source in back tick. so I imagine i can do my $top = chop $source; But what about the $bottom one? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
