[WBEL-users] quick script help

[Nathan Oyler]

I don't think this is the correct place for this type of email.

Localtime();
My $time = localtime();
Print localtime . "\n";

There's a piece of information. You really should figure out how to do
the if file exists on your own. It's not hard.

There are tons of perl resources. You can google/search through perldocs
for each step, and finish this without any help.
