Thanks Abigail, et al,
I suppose by "better" I mean different. I know I have a certain mentality when it come to writing code. It usually works well for me, but every now and again I have difficulties in solving a problem this way.

The code submitted worked, but was a simple enough problem that solutions provided by others would hopefully help me see another way of thinking.

Just looking to improve I guess.

I write my Perl code like how I like my sex: fast and dirty. ;)
