I don't mean to be rude, but it's very hard to read your post(s) when they're not formatted nicely. Please read Writeup Formatting Tips, which explains how to format Perl code so that everyone can read it easily. Basically, just surround your code with <CODE> ... </CODE> tags. You can tell if your post looks good or not by taking a look at it after hitting the "preview" button. Using <CODE> tags will help us help you!

Update: A nice volunteer has added formatting, so this node isn't as relevant anymore. Still, you should be aware that when there are no <CODE> tags around Perl code, it takes someone else's time to fix it.
