I know these things. They are pretty well explained in the manual
I have. That was a shell script line. And I wanted to know how would
look the perl script that does the same. I mean how it will look the part
of the script that will search inside of a file (eventually open it) an
arbitrary string, it will chose the last line found and put in a scalar
the charaters of a defined field. Can this be done only in perl? Without
the help of extranal commands?
