thanks for this info Al.

OK so by the looks of it I need to become root and copy the pingpong.pm over
to the same path here

In my case I have filter.pl in another directory

This I will change but point to the location of the filter.pl I am using. Do
I need to set execute privs for the filter.pl file? Guessing yes?

OK thanks. I'll start small (which is my pref) and see if I can just build
the filter.pl using the PING function first.

I'm on my way now, thanks... not sure if all the bits are in place but
working on it. :)
