Take a look at:153602 (and others)

Type "print columns" into the search box at the top of the screen.

Having had a /msg conversation with mkmcconn, I realised that he is writing this as a Learning Perl exercise and wants critque of his code, rather than a "module solution".

On that basis, I'll let someone with greater expertise than me offer the advice.

It might still be worth downloading the source of some of the module solutions described elsewhere and take a look how they do this. Though I appreciate that the code in some of the modules can be all but indecipherable to non- or only-slightly Perlish eyes:)

What's this about a "crooked mitre"? I'm good at woodwork!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
