Thanks again Danny, Perl was the first thing I tinkered with back in the 90&#39;s but haven&#39;t messed with it for years.<div><br></div><div>Looking over what you sent, I get about 90% of what&#39;s going on there. With a little searching and brushing up on my Perl, I think I will be able to make this work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is a good solution and, if I can get this to work, I won&#39;t even need the AGI. I can basically just hit what I need using CURL within the Perl script (I think).</div><div><br></div><div>All the AGI was going to do for me is hit a URL with some parameters out on the Internet. So, pretty sure I can do all that within the Perl Script and leave AGI out of it completely.</div>
