Thanx Howard it worked. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to suggest mods to it or not since it's compiled PERL but you asked on your site so I'll do it here this time since you're a mod. =P

It worked without error but one thing that would've make it a lot easier would've been allowing the executable to have $dc, $comp, $DN vars to it as well so that way you could call the executable much more easily from a script.

...just a thought. thanx again for the exe! =D
