ra/ragator output issue with argus-clients-2.0.6.beta.37

[Carter Bullard]

You should use the RA_FIELD_DELIMITER in your .rarc
file.  In my perl scripts, I write out a .rarc formatted
file to a temporary filename that sets RA_FIELD_DELIMITER=','
(see the support/Config/rarc as a guide).

I then call whatever ra* program I need from the perl
script using the "-F tmpfilename" option.
This generates comma separated fields, and you can
use split all day long.
