If you can believe it, I didn't even know that you could follow a
"perl -e" one liner with a file name and have it act on that file.

Wow ... that autosplitter is a timesaver alright.  I will definitely
remember to use that (with the -n flag too).  I learned more about
Perl in this post than I have in the past couple of weeks.

(Probably because I haven't been learning much about Perl in the past
couple of weeks, but what I'm trying to say is thanks for the tips.)
