What the heck was I thinking when I wrote this, nearly a year ago? Geez… talk about attitude.
$result =~ s/^(d+).*/$1/; # get the number of deleted records
# TJG 8/9/01: From syntax check:
# "1 better written as $1"
# EJH 12/30/2003: FYI,
# syntax check is full of it.
# 1 is The Right Thing.
Even worse, I was wrong.
Lucky they kept me on I guess.
