do we know will never have: John Q Public III or Jane Smith Jr. ??

re: UNIX box: It has been my impression that if PERL runs on a box, *nix utilities are probably available. I checked the Marquis of Queensbury rules on 1 liners. Use of ";" in place of new-line is considered below the coding belt.

just for the record, sh/ksh/bash 1 liner: sort *txt|uniq -c >count.out

doesn't if ( $thecellspace ) { $self->{ TABLECELLSPACE } = $thecellspace; } change the calling object? so that (assuming $oMy can be used in the followiing manner): $the_table1 = $oMy->tablestyle("75%",1); $the_table2 = $oMy->tablestyle("65%");# has TABLECELLSPACE of $the_table1...

i do not grok "writing a data file"? are there multiple files? Each time you run YourProgram, is it creating the file from scratch? or is it incrementally adding lines? and/or is it only displaying the fields to the user in requested order - i.e., is the sorted order transitory or...

your problem is not a perl issue, it is a cron issue. cron sets only a few environment variables. perl simply takes the current environment the script is running under and puts it into %ENV. any command/script run under cron is responsible for setting the "correct" environment variables. even...

my vote is for PaulTEG. We assume this is a relational database? If so, this is relational database 101. There must be a table in the database that contains employees and their department. So select info ..... from mytable, other_table where ... and other_table.deptno=DepartmentOfInterest...

shell scripting can require much more time & cpu resources than awk or perl. e.g, shell: grep my_file|sed 's/........ requires *nix to fork/exec 2 new processes to execute these utilities. Doing comparable operations in awk or perl will use only the original process. If there any looping...

sorry sort valid_host valid_host file1|uniq -u

of course, samples of valid_host/file1 would help But, assuming the 2 files are in same format, so that we are looking for unique lines in file1: sort valid_host valid_host file1|uniq

are you interested in using unix/linux command line?

what operating system are you using that allows, as I understand your posting, multiple files of the same name to co-exist in the same directory/folder? or, is the some sort of a regex in the file name?

have you previously used javascript? what do you mean " parse a webpage "? where did the page come from? do you have access to an httpd server to which can run submit your own scripts?

put /usr/sbin into your $PATH
