Mark,

Would you be interested in hosting this code in the contrib area of 
Orca's repository?

http://www.orcaware.com/svn/repos/trunk/orca/contrib/

I would ask that you turn on good Perl style coding by changing

#!/bin/perl

to

#!/bin/perl -w

and add

use strict;

near the top of the file.  Also, remove the warnings about the version 
keyword.

Also, using an indent of 2 or 4 characters would be nice, because the 
code seems pretty wide on an 80 character tty.

Regards,
Blair
