Re: running a perl-script

I've got it working.

There's another little app/script (sorry, I don't know the proper
terminology) that takes the output and puts it into proper names. What
one does is take the output you got from the first one, and pipe it
through the second. That will be my next effort tonight.

Thanks,

Jim
