Hello harish. I do not have an answer to your question. Instead i am posting to ask you to please use code tags. I editted your most recent question and noticed that you inserted <br> tags at the end of each line. This is uneccesary. Simply put code tags around your code and the proper formatting will be substituted for you. I also sent you a private message explaining that i fixed your last most recent question and requesting that you now fix Re: Re: Converting Visual Basic Code to PERL yourself. I see that you did not heed my request, hence this reply. The advice to use code tags should have been right in front of you when you posted:

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following: a, b, big, blockquote, br, center, dd, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, td, th, tr, tt, u, ul
• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible editor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.

Did you not see that? By taking the time to fit in with a communtity, you only ensure that your reception will be better received. Oh, and it's Perl by the way. Not PERL. Thanks.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

	For:		Use:
	&		&
	<		&lt;
	>		&gt;
	[		&#91;
	]		&#93;
