Many thanks for your comments! I will implement what I can from your suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm operating in an extremely rigid environment that I do not have much control over. I cannot add any additional modules to the environment, I can only use the standard modules loaded with Perl 5.8.0. This script is meant to be a template that every agent on my team can use on any system we support, but it has to be able to work on any one of 900 systems by simply dropping it into place. We don't have the authority to add software to the environment. With that in mind, do you have any more recommendations?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
