thanks. Sorry I only gave just a small portion of my script and you answered my question. Now that it works can you please explain how this works???? I am lost on the => and the [-1] parts. 

print FILE (split /:/ => $_) [-1], "\n";

    => is a fancy comma, and [-1] takes the last element of the list preceeding it.
