Hello All, I was given a comma delimited excel file to process. It contains a list of NT domains and the software installed in them. I need to find out, for example, how many instances on win 2k are installed in each domain. I thought PERL would be great for this but I can't seem to hammer anything out. I thought I could store the software of each domain in a list but I would need to create a list with the domain name which comes from a variable created by split! I am sure that my thinking is all wrong here but if anyone has a qucik Idea I would appreciate it. Here is the snippet I have so far:" #!/usr/bin/perl @invlist = (); open (INV, "/root/inventory.csv") || die "cannot open inventory file"; while ($line = ) { ($garbage1,$software,$domain,$garbage2,$garbage3) = split(/,/,$l ine); push(@$domain,$software); } Is it possible to dynamicly create an array from a variable like that? - Joel
