I’m sorry for the wasted bandwidth, but I proved myself wrong! I used a bash script sussessfully but I wasn’t able to use Perl 6 successfully. However, I was trying to use the Perl 6 “run” command whch didn’t work. When I changed to the Perl 6 “shell” command, all worked well! (The differences in the two commands includes how spaces are handled. “run” was treating the password as two or more separate words. I could have used “run” differently to overcome that and I will do so.)
