G'day RobK,

Welcome to the Monastery.

With regard to your earlier post:

"... but I'll try to spare you newbie's own mistakes ..."

I upvoted that because you're new here and, on the face of it, that apparently seemed like a reasonable course of action; however, you're clearly not across our general philosophy.

Learning from mistakes — whether those you or others have made — is entirely valid; in many cases, it's more useful than learning from successes. See "How do I change/delete my post?" for a more in-depth discussion on that.

So please, post both the code that does, and doesn't, work; and include all messages (warnings, errors, and so on). Provide an explanation for the faulty code (or request such if you can't explain it). Future readers will appreciate your input.

As a final note, it's generally useful to advise of your operating system and the version of Perl in use. For the most part, Perl is backwardly compatible; however, you may get messages which in some versions indicate that 'some_functon' is experimental — in later versions that message may disappear or be upgraded from "experimental" to "deprecated". In a number of cases, knowing your Perl version helps us to better help you.
