Keep track of remote host connections in Terminal

I wrote a perl script called connect to keep track of the hosts I connect to. It provides a text-based menu system to add, delete, and modify remote hosts you connect to, much like putty does. It stores the host information in a file in your home directory called .connect.
B To install the script there are four simple steps to follow:

  1. Download the script
  2. Put the script in a directory in your path, either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (or ~/bin if you have it set up).
  3. Type chmod 755 connect
  4. Type connect to start it up.
That's it; enjoy!
