it would teh awesome if you could post some of the perl scripts in the "Perl Server Side CGI Scripting" [webmasterworld.com] forum and the shell scripts in the "Linux, Unix, and *nix like Operating Systems" [webmasterworld.com] forum and link all those threads from this thread!

by the way i just used a modified version of your shell command from the OP today.
the way i was doing this before (using a for loop) was so inefficient i'm embarrassed to say how long it ran.
