Thanks a lot, I'll worry about the wrapping thing later on. I may not need it if I am deconstructing the connectstring further
I'll post the updated script after I've broken down the connectstring information/variable. I will be using cut this time, I'll post it in case there is a better approach to it.
Currently, script now look as below. Not sure if there is a better way to get around the case/esac thingy.
How can i set a variable field delimiter using awk??
I wanna do something like this ,but i canīt get the correct syntaxis :

net::time5.18
Net::Time(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Net::Time(3pm)NAME
Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
print inet_time(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_time('localhost');
print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
print inet_daytime(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_daytime('localhost');
print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');
DESCRIPTION
"Net::Time" provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The
optional argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be a time value in the same
units as returned by time() or undef upon failure.
inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The
optional argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon
failure.
