This is just terrific stuff, tye. Like tilly's criticisms, I understand what you wrote,
and I can agree with everything you said. I'm grateful
that you both took so much time to make detailed comments.
I'll try to make good use
of your advice, not just in improving this simple program but
in thinking more carefully about portability, maintainability,
and choosing the appropriate data structures.
Hopefully the light will come up, little by little, and
you'll see some smarter programs from me over time!

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.
