Nor do I. It's a self serving answer.The truth is more along the lines of, it
makes them feel good. Like a "gang" hazing new students and calling them
stupid. You see it's not enough to have more knowledge and be superior, they
have to feel superior.

That nice. However, it's also completely unrelated to the issue.
At the risk of stretching metaphors and analogies to the point of

First of all, your newsreader is broken. It's sending out some

Second of all, what you're talking about is just like parents

I disagree. I tried to get PWS going for days. I got Apache running in
less than an hour. I think editing two line in a conf file is easier
than editing the registry.

You read the documentation that comes with perl. Especially the
Frequently Asked Questions. The things you _always_ check before post.
The FAQ about sorting arrays might be useful...
How do I sort an array by (anything)...
You can find the answer in the documentation that comes with perl.

Scott,
In 15 minutes, I grabbed the Net::Telnet module from ActiveState, installed it,
and got some simple code working...
Make sure you pass in the hostname, username, and password...in that order...
#! c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
$host = shift;
$username = shift;
$passwd = shift;
use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
Prompt => '/[\$%#>] $/');
$t->open($host);
$t->login(Name => $username,
Password => $passwd);
@lines = $t->cmd("uname -a");
print @lines;
print "\n\n";
@lines = $t->cmd("w");
print @lines;
exit;

The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
