I see the site_perl directory now, thanks.
<longversion>
To fill you in on what exactly I'm doing: The script accepts periodic data
or text input files from a vendor (for a specific database), parses it to
fit our specifications, and outputs a text file for a bulk-insert into a SQL
database.
</longversion>
I think I've got it this time:
#!/opt/perl/bin/perl -w
use MY_MODULE; # (in /opt/perl/bin/perl/site_perl);
my $inputFile = $ARGV[0] ? $ARGV[0] : "/tmp/vendor1/bigDataFile.txt";
open (IN, "<$inputFile")
or die "Can't open input file ($inputFile): $!\n";
Thanks for helping a self-taught hermit scripter learn some manners.
