use code tags...see the help about what they are.

that will get you more efficent perlmonk advice, but that's all i know :) 

=========================================================== 
sub encrypt { 
    my ($self, $STRING) = @_; 
    my $ENCRYPTED_STRING = ''; 
    my $LENGTH = length($STRING); 
    my @STRING = split(//,$STRING); 
    my $ENCRYPTION_MAP =  "abcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMnopq
+rstuvwxyz0123456789.&@="; 
    my @ENCRYPTION_ARRAY =  split(//,$ENCRYPTION_MAP); 
    my $MAP_LENGTH = length($ENCRYPTION_MAP); 
    my $MAP_HALF = length($ENCRYPTION_MAP)/2; 

    for ($i=0; $i < $LENGTH; $i++) { 
        my $CHARACTER = $STRING$i; 
        my $POSITION = index($ENCRYPTION_MAP, "$CHARACTER"); 
          
        if ($POSITION ($POSITION + $MAP_HALF) % $MAP_LENGTH"); } } 
        
        return $ENCRYPTED_STRING;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • 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.
