This code worked nicely!  Took care of all the waitpid errors as far as
I can tell.  I'm running into a new issue as we speak, but I'm trying ot
narrow it down.  I'll write again later.

To those of you who are following along at home, you'll want to also
know the following:

To get MIME::Types, go to
http://search.cpan.org/~markov/MIME-Types-1.15/lib/MIME/Types.pod, or
just go to http://search.cpan.org/ and search for mime::types, download
the .tar.gz file, unzip it.

Now download nmake from microsoft so you'll be able to build the module
(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe - i put it into my
\perl\bin\ folder - dunno if that was smart)

Now follow the directions at
http://perl.about.com/od/perlmodule1/l/aa030500a.htm and install that
sucka.

Screw it.  I don't need to opendir!

Bill & David: 
 Thanks for all the helpful advice.  I definitely couldn't have gotten
this far without your support.  I'd be happy to help write the "swish-e
for dumb windows users" section of the manual should you request it.  Or
maybe contribute to the wiki.
