Hi again!

I just wanted to let you know I reran the script after adding the following lines:

use warnings;
use strict;

[download]

and received a bunch of error messages in regards to "explicit package name" requirements. For example:

Global symbol "$sec" requires explicit package name

Time to figure out what that means!

    I figured it out! It was because I wasn't declaring my variables with "my". Will have to research why that is
