Ronen,
OK. I finished some things and am looking at your problem again.
Have you solved it? If so, let us know. <<<<<<
I don't know much about procmail
and I don't grok the broader problem you are addressing.
But I gather that your mission at this time
is just to create some predefined files.
So maybe I can be of some help anyway.
I've written a crude shell of a prototype for the problem as I understand it.
My intent in writing it was to illicit information.
(I'm definitely not clear on exactly what you wish to generate.)
But then I realized I have no idea
how deep you into programming and into perl.
I think I write fairly simple code,
but one person's simple is another's hopelessly complex.
I'm not sure what would be useful for you.
So I'd like to have some idea what you feel <<<<<<
your grasp is of programming and of Perl is.
What kind of communication are you looking for here?
Just some general insights or what?
George
