Re^2: Newbie question

Your practical comments are extremely helpful.

Not sure what the 'looks like homework' jibe was meant to achieve. I'm 71, have been retired for nearly 14 years and I don't do homework in the sense that term is usually understood. I have been learning Perl for 6 days.

Nonetheless your other comments are extremely useful and I thank you for them.

Oh, sometimes we get a student who are lazy and trying to trick us into doing their homework for them. But usually those folks don't show up with anything close to working code! After your explanation, I am impressed! Your code demonstrates a level of understanding that extremely few 6-day beginners possess. And your question wasn't "how do I do it?", it was "how do I do it better?". Keep going! You are off to a very fine start!	[reply]
