We used to do a variant of Perl Golf (http://www.xs4all.nl/~thospel/ golf/rules.html)... where those who decided to participate could aim for either the shortest script (standard golf) or the fastest script. cheers, Garrett On Jul 20, 2006, at 7:22 PM, djgoku wrote: > So I was need of a program that read in information from a file > (comments + list of hostname/IPs) and spew out a batch file.
