Like Zaxo but different:
  1. my @no_pc = grep { !/^PC\b/i } @rpts;
  2. my @sorted = sort { uc($a) cmp uc($b) } @rpts;
  3. my @modified = map { /^\S+\s+\S+\s+(.*)/ } @rpts;
In the first two cases, I'm just not assuming everything comes through squeaky clean, that there could be case changes, or further, some kind of "PCx" type entry. In the third, it's merely that I'm picking off the first two "words" as there might be additional information, and stick to the letter of the request being merely to remove columns 1 and 2.
