Re: [MacPerl] More help

Thanks to all of you.  It worked! I am getting a hang of it finally.
I spend most of my leisure hours on the computer trying to learn
MacPerl.  I am getting somewhere NOW!! Learning is fun. But
when the script refuses to work after hours of trying and to figure
out what has gone wrong, that's the worst part. I am the one who
has never given up.  I will learn and then perhaps quit.

Thanks to all of you, especially to Thomas and Scott
