Is there any particular significance to your choice of $f, $s and @r as variable names? They don't seem to match up with the classic left, right and temp in either english or dutch?

      I just updated my post, but you may not see it, you have an extraneous ']' in the merge_sort sub.

        No, there was a [ missing in the second line. I must have missed that when typing over the code (the code was written and tested on my laptop, which isn't allowed to be plugged in the network here, and I didn't want to bother with the floppy option, hence I had to type it over instead of using cut-and-paste).
