You're welcome. And trust me, I don't really 'perl' all that well... writing this thing (albeit a while ago when I did more fooling around in perl) probably took me 3x as long as any one else relatively well-versed in perl. The end result is that it works well and I know a few dozen people use it as I've passed it out to quite a few folks over the last few months. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security, OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 27 days 8 hours 3 minutes.
