Hello Anonymous Monk,

That is true I am over using the parameters ($_,@_) because I found them so useful and to be 100% honest I thought they operate faster than defining a new parameter (e.g. my $line).

But as I said I am still learning and to be honest I am trying to reach and provide comments in most questions that I can. The reasons are two, firstly people more experienced than me can also comment on top of my comments so I can learn from them, secondly I think that more experienced people tend to forget how was it back when "they where new to programming" and usually provide a straight answer to the problem. I found my self feeling a bit wrong about it because apart from a solution to the problem it would be nice the user to actually now and understand why this is happening and why I should write my code like this.

Well to be even more honest I am only coding almost 2 years, and I have been working with a variety of programming languages so I am not specialized in all of them. When I start working more with Perl I got impressed with the abilities. So now I am learning and trying to get my hands "dirty" as much as possible to be able to assist people with my long comments and answers. :D

I took in consideration your comments from the question but when I finished this code was 2 days before. I was looking forward to improve the user input using see question-2. I am still working with it trying to pass it through an OO process. So I did not spend time to modify this code. I wanted to provide a sample of solution to the user so he can start working with it, because I have a few ideas to push the code more before stop working with it.

But because it might take more time I did not modify it.

Any way I have already wrote too much, thank you again for your assistance to my questions I hope that I will get better soon. ;)

I am recent graduate and looking forward to get a job in the telecommunication where I will get new challenges to learn and modify my skills even further.
