Works :-)
Thanks a lot. I still have to understand both perl and how this forum works. When I go to the index of "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" I do not see my question. I used the "search method to find it and to see your answers. In the meantime I wrote my question again. Sorry to everybody for the mess.
The way this forum works is that certain questions posted don't appear in Seekers Of Perl Wisdom right away. They have to be "approved" by uber-monks first. It will still appear under "Newest Nodes" so there really isn't a reason to post twice.
