>>The punctuation and my’s make this harder to read than it should be. Huh, declaration of variables should remove a typical error at least I do: foo = X if ... foi = Y .. if foo == X .. I really don't understand why the strict functionality isn't default in Perl and all other languages. Also, only total newbies initialize arrays like this: my @records = (); Most every time Perl is mentioned, we get an insane amount of trolling. It is quite boring. Now I'm out of jeans, into a good shirt and off for a party, so you have to work on someone else... :-)
