SUMMARY: OT:Perl Script

I want to thank everyone who responed (20 responses, too may to thank
individually). Got exactly what I was looking for with the following:

$myquery="interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutErrors.3 = 2066577";
($name, $value) = split(/ = /,$myquery);

from David Meissner. I can't believe it was that simple.
