All this is being done in Perl, so I'm cool there.

Excellent...I will just leave it out.  I want to keep this as "minimal"
as possible.  Any idea if that uptime field is needed?  It's easy enough
to generate, but if I don't need it, I'd like to leave it out and save
a few cycles.  Thanks a LOT for you help!
