a2p

[Scottie]

I have a bunch of awk programs which I want to convert to Perl. I have
a Windows XP system which includes DOS. I'm learning Perl. Where can I
find the a2p?

No it doesn't (thank God).

I'm learning Perl.

If you're learning Perl, the output of a2p is not a good place to
start. If you just want to get the things working under win32,
though...

Where can I find the a2p?

....you can get perl for windows from activestate.com. a2p is included.

Ben,

Thanks. I just wanted to find out how someone would, in awk, use
"getline", etc. and convert it into Perl. Something pretty simple like
that.

Thanks again.
