well i havent dealt with the parsing yet, but I am having trouble with the sort stuff. The foreach loops work great but the 
$len  = length( (sort {$a <=> $b } @s)[0]);
$lent  = length( (sort {$a <=> $b } @r)[0]);

gives weird results: 
___________________________________|______________
1.  D midpoint side AB             |  G
2.  F midpoint side AC             |  G
3.  segment ED median              |  def of median
4.  segment BF median              |  def of median
5.  segment AE median              |  only one line concurrunt with ot
+her median
6.  N point of concurrency of medians triangle ABC  |  def of point of
+ concurrency
7.  segment NE / segment AN = 1/2  |  median thm
8.  point O point of concurrency triangle ABE  |  def of point of conc
+urrency
9.  (segment BP / segment PE) * (segment EN / segment NA) * (segment A
+D / segment DB) = 1  |  cheva
10. segment AD congruent segment DB  |  def of midpoint
11. m segment AD = m segment DB    |  docs 10
12. segment AD / segment DB        |  ?
13. segment AD / segment AD = 1    |  sub 11 , 12
14. (segment BP / segment PE) * (1/2) * (1) = 1  |  sub 7, 13, 9
15. segment BP / (segment PE * 2) = 1  |  multiplication 14
16. segment BP = segment PE * 2    |  cross multipy 15
17. segment BP / segment PE = 2/1  |  division 16

with errors for every numeric compare, so i changed it to cmp: 
$len  = length( (sort {$a cmp $b } @s)[0]);
$lent  = length( (sort {$a cmp $b } @r)[0]);

, but still, same results. And help would be great. The file i am running this on is available in my scratch pad, here scratch pad viewer
