Re: In over my head

Welcome to the Monastery, cjjennings3!

Please note that this is not a code writing service; we don't (very often) write full scripts for free without seeing any effort whatsoever.

You will need to make some effort to write some code, then come back with what you have, and ask specific questions about parts that do not work.

Besides, if someone else does all of your work for you, what are you learning?

"and really need help!"

"help" is not getting others to do all of the work for you ;)

Thanks for your input. I do acknowledge that help isn't getting others to do the work for me, but I have no idea how to start this. I've looked into some Perl tutorials and nothing is making sense for some reason. I guess what I'm looking for is a good place to start. Thanks.	[reply]

Just looking at the tutorials is unlikely to help. As I'm sure you're aware you need to work at things to learn. Start with learn perl in about 2 hours 30 minutes. Look at the tutorials section of this site. http://learn.perl.org also has references to look at. With regards the task at hand, write down a list of steps your program should take. Address these one at a time. Brake large problems down into a collection of smaller problems. If you get stuck with something specific please post a question (see How do I post a question effectively?). We can explain things to you, but we can understand them for you.	[reply]
