Hello guys, thank all so, so much for your replies. I learned so much from these it's amazing haha.

I also apologize for not replying earlier, I had some major issues with the internet and were only able to get back on-line and take a look at your help today.

@Haukex; thank you very much. The reason I have been using the formatting as I did, is mainly because I constantly forget to open or close brackets and in the way I did it I have a bit better overview over the brackets I open and close. My guess is, that the more I work with perl and the more I will get used to it I can probably go back to a different formatting style.

Another question I would have would be about this: $h->{"3p-tRFs"} . How was it possible to replace the variable call from my version with " -> " ? My second question would be about the Data:Dumper. Isn't it contra-productive to use it when you are working with large data-sets and would end up printing a lot of content into the terminal? Or would you just use the Data:Dumper until you made sure that your script is working? I can definitely see the advantages of the Data:Dumper but I am just a bit worried it could slow things down too much with large data-sets.

poj, hippo, jwkrahn thank you all so much for your help and baring with my probably very basic and banal problems. But I definitely learned a lot from your help and I slowly start being less scared about working with perl.
