Hi
The two perl methods are fundamentally different
- one is arguments only. The other
- requires stdin from a pipe or entered directly into the script process
i.e. run the perl
script, type whatever on a line and it writes it to stderr.
Couldn't find a problem with spaces.
Yes it would it be more efficient to do it in C as its
the closest thing to assembler that is human readable and portable.
But I tend to avoid C code as it is not part of most
admins job descriptions and maintenance becomes problematic.
Regards
Jim McDonald
