I re-posted the code using most of the suggestions. With regard to the version thing, I primarily include a version number for my own use, I wasn't trying to adhere to a standard. I didn't even know that there was a standard, to be honest. The sort block was a remnant from when I was going to try to keep the case of the words, rather than converting everything to lower case. I was going to do sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b) }, but ended up dropping the idea cuz it was getting too messy. (Dang, I had a remnant thing in my Fibonacci generator, too. Sorry 'bout that.)

I tried to use your code for creating the list of line numbers, but I kept getting a trailing comma with the output. Any suggestions on that?

• 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.
