I know how to take a random line from a file but I need to use up all the questions in the file without using any of the questions more than once. I've looked around the site but couldn't find any examples. The only idea I have is turning the filehandle into an array. Anyway any help would be appreciated. Here's the code I have so far: 
"print "This program will ask the user random questions from a file un
+til all the questions have been answered.";
if (open QUESTFILE, '<questions.txt') {
        $count=0;
        while ($q=<QUESTFILE>) {
                $question[$count]=$q;
                $count=$count+1;
        }
}
else {
        print "Could not read questions from file question.txt\n";
exit;
}

if (open ANSFILE, '>answers.txt') {
        $count=0;
        while ($a=<ANSFILE>) {
                $answer[$count]=uc($a);

                $count=$count+1;
        }
}
else {
        print "Could not read answers from file answers.txt\n"; 
exit;
}
srand;
$times=0;
while ($times<10) {
$quest = int(rand ($#question+1));
print $question[$quest];
$ans = uc(<STDIN>);
print ANSFILE $ans;
$times=$times+1;
}
exit;"

I know the code is basic but I've only just started using perl so any advice would be good. cheers!
