how about something like...
use strict;
use warnings;
$|++;
my $person = shift @ARGV or die "Usage: $0 <personid>\n";
my %parent_of;
my %children_of;
while (my ($child, $parent) = split /\s/, <DATA>) {
$parent_of{$child} = $parent;
push @{$children_of{$parent}}, $child;
}
my @fathers;
for (my $lookat = $person; exists $parent_of{$lookat}; $lookat = $pare
+nt_of{$lookat}) {
push @fathers, $parent_of{$lookat};
}
my @sons = @{$children_of{$person}};
print "fathers of $person: @fathers$/";
print "sons of $person: @sons$/";
__DATA__
1045316394 1045316144
1045316407 1045316394
1045316419 1045316407
1045316438 1045316419
1045316469 1045316394
1045316492 1045316407
1045316505 1045316492
$ perl test.pl 1045316419

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
