Need Help??

Hey swampyankee, thank you, but when I run the script, I get the following

Global symbol "@unsorted" requires explicit package name at one-c.pl line 6.
Global symbol "@unsorted" requires explicit package name at one-c.pl line 7.
Global symbol "@sorted" requires explicit package name at one-c.pl line 10.
Global symbol "@unsorted" requires explicit package name at one-c.pl line 10.
Execution of one-c.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I am on an XP machine, if that has any bearing, but would there be something else amiss with my installation?

The reason i ask is my first responder suggested some code and that looked like it ran successfully, but did not translate any result to the screen or a file.
Now your code returns errors... hmm

Any other thoughts?

I cleverly forgot to declare @unsorted and @sorted. This is why one should (a) test code before posting and (b) use strict; and use warnings;.

They do wonders to prevent things like:

@array = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);
$sum+= $_ foreach @array;
$mean = $sum/scalar(@aray);

(Yes, I know scalar(@aray) is 0.)
