Thanks Tad, I think. Didn't realize that asking a relatively simple
question would result in such a fuss.

Thanks Again,
Steve

What is the "I think" qualifier for?

Did what I posted help you?

The I think qualifier was because I hadn't read the posting guidelines
yet and wasn't sure if you were slamming me. And due to volumous
replies off-topic.

>Did what I posted help you?
Yes it helped. Although I already hacked around it using a separate
script to accomplish the directory purge. I will go back and clean up
when I get the chance.

That does not make my followup unworthy of thanks.

I just figured you'd want to know how best to get answers
to your Perl questions, so I mentioned those tips.

If I felt that slamming was called for, then I would have also
felt that helping to answer the question was uncalled for.

You can tell it wasn't a slam, because my post didn't stop right there. :-)

None of those were me, so the "I think" should not attach to me.

The thread was hijacked by a troll. Don't pay serious attention
to its hub-bub, that would be giving it what it wants.

All is well then.

Happy Perling!
