Hi!
        I plann to make a script which will give me a report about my ppp
connection and about mail trafic.  I think I can do that with the usual
*nix tools.  But I see this as an excelent idea to learn perl.  I have the
HTML perl documentation for 5.005 (I have perl 5.003).  But it seems I
need some interctive help as well.
        Could someone tell me hwo this script line:
y=`grep "some string" file | tail -n 1 | cut -b5-10`
        Sorry if you think this message is off-topic.
        BTW: Can you tell me if there is some perl-newbie list?  I have
only mail so it's pretty hard to search (so far no result).

        Raider
