Re: running a perl-script

I tried it last night, though I think you'd do better using new-lc twice
(one for a first name with a first name file and a second time for last
names with a last name file since the prop command using just first names
would make the last names out of first names if I understand the system
right). The command if you do want to use it however is to add a 'pipe'
character | followed by perl prop, e.g.:

perl new-lc -10 name_file | perl prop
