Daniel,
For only 4 variables, I thought it was overkill to have an ini file.
However as I continue to mess around with my code, I'm adding more and
more externalized variables. Use of an ini is becoming more appealing.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Why not just make DIR1, DIR2, IPADDR AND IPPORT global variables within
the script, rather then requiring user to set env variables, which can
become a pain in the ass.
Your best bet would be to set them to some default variable, and then if
the user needs to, she can override the default values
I'm not a 'perl' pro, but I am a pro at using different shells, programs and
so on in different environments.
It depends on the environment in which you're running.
For example, running on some type of *NIX at a command line, you might very
well want command line options so that people and

Hi John,
I'd suggest that both approaches can be somewhat lacking in portability. The
command line is something of a kludge, IMHO, as it still depends largely on
users typing in the correct parameters. I think ini files would be portable

Hi -
This will 'strip' all but a-zA-Z0-9:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $STRING = kjsh234Sd\nki;
$STRING =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9]//sg;
print $STRING\n;
the ~ makes the character class negative, the s makes

In vi, you have to type ctrl-v ctrl-m. This will tell vi you mean control-m and not
carrot-m.

Even in vi when i do a search for ^M by doing '/^M' it says that no matches were
found. The ^M is not two characters but one. Can anyone out there please

Hello,
I don't think that the file matters. You say it's a massive line. To read a
file you should first open it. Look at PerlDoc.
