Thanks for all the quick answers... Gordon... the short answer is that the program came that way. I downloaded from the CVS repository just today. It's working without the -T switch. It seems to me that the default runtime state of the application would correctly implement use the "T" switch. I could be wrong.
Thanks for all the answers again! I feel a little bit better about it all. I'll take all of the advice and learn more about the perlsec. Warmest Regards, Tim -- /** * Timothy Stone .
