in reply to Extra (\n)'s in the file I'm updating?

This line will 'squash' any multiple \n characters into only one 
$new_text =~ tr/\n//s;

Also, using $names[1] means your code relies on a very specific page layout of the elements to work.

    Thank you for the code, I've changed how I'm executing this application so I'm not sure it's going to apply anymore, but thanks anyways.

    Oh, and as for the $names[1] requiring very specific page layout, I know. It's ok for now because I'm the only person using the code, but I know I shouldn't do it this way. I've just been jumping ahead in my learning of Perl because I see different things I want to try. I just haven't learned the appropiate way of aquiring name/value pairs. Thats pretty high on the list of things to learn.

    Thanks,
