Is there a converter from gawk to perl? I prefer using gawk to awk because of functions and (particularly) because of multidimensional arrays. -- ames >>>>>>>>> | Robert Krawitz <rlk@think.com> 245 First St. bloom-beacon > |think!rlk (postmaster) Cambridge, MA 02142 harvard >>>>>> .

Well, not quite. gawk has a different command line convension for reading variables (`-v A=B' rather than just `A=B') and a2p doesn't know about gawk's special "/dev/std..." files, so it tries to open "/dev/stderr" and so on. Easy to fix by hand, tho. (This is the a2p with perl 3.0 patch-level 41). ^.-.^ Mark Purtill purtill@dimacs.rutgers.edu (908)932-4580 (O) ((")) DIMACS, P.O.

No, it blew up on a function (subroutine) definition.
