 {@arr[$_,$_+1]} 0..$#arr-1

Thanks! this is just the sort of thing I was seeking . . . new knowledge. I was unaware of $_+1 . Also later you noted:

"The reason your creation of the %info hash isn't working in the original code is that you're not dereferencing the pairs."

Nice, I thought I was close to getting it to work, this did the trick.

As the lyric goes . . . I am hip to your timely tip!! Thannk again.

However, the while pare of the code below looks like Devilry I will have to spend more time with it to figure it out

local $_ = join "\n", @trip;
printf "%15s to %-15s\n", $1, $2  while /^(.*)\n(?=(.*))/gm;
