Since I don't have Learning Perl in front of me, I can't help you with the specifics.

However, I can give you some suggestions regarding asking for help on PerlMonks.

  1. Type in the code. Put it between <code> tags, to keep its formatting.
  2. Tell us what's happening. Again, it's helpful to do so within its own set of <code> tags.
  3. Tell us what version of Perl (most people are either on 5.005 or 5.6.0) and what type of OS (Windows, Unix, Mac, etc). There are some slight differences between the version of Perl and the OS types, which could affect an answer.
Most importantly, welcome aboard! :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
