Need Help??

Here is an more declarative alternative to do the tests and assignment you show above:

  %tags = ( %tags,   
            %{ {l=>\%leftright, r=>\%leftright, t=>\%topbottom,  b=>\%
+topbottom }->{$position} } 
          );

It will give the right results (with warnings) if any of the expected values is not defined, or incorrect.

What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against?

Thank you very much for taking the time to do that for me. I like it. You're right, and it's alot smaller too. :). I'm afraid I sometimes get so focused, and obsessed on what I'm doing. It's kind of a "Forrest for the Trees" sort of thing. I really need to condition myself to step back, or away from it, more often. :)

I really appreciate your taking the time to whip that up, for me, NetWallah.

All the best.
