Hello,
I have yet another problem. I am in the process of writing a script. What this script does for the engineers here, is when they select a site (cgi) and click submit, the script gathers a table of information for that site, along with all of its neighbors. How i did this was, i used a preexisting script that i wrote, which actually parsed the data, and made it a subroutine. I then made an array, which had every "netid" for the neighbor sites. The subroutine, takes the "net-id" and selects the data, but it also has 2 more variables, which is where my problem arrises. See the other 2 variables are simply used to title the column produced by the subroutine.
So this is how i did it. I have 3 arrays, one with the netids (crucial for the data) one with the siteid(used for title) and one with the sector number (again, used for title). The for each loop is:
$i=0;
$index=@netids;
print "<TABLE>";

foreach $id(@netids){
    print"<td>";
    print "<pre>";
    PRINT_INFO ($id,$nums[$i],$sects[$i]);
    print "</pre>";
        $i++;    
}

I needed the $i in there, as a counter to ensure that the second two variables getting sent to the subroutine are the correct ones. When i actually print out the lines that are sent to the subroutine using
print "PRINT_INFO ($id,$nums[$i],$sects[$i])";

i get this.. 
PRINT_INFO (2515,0040,1)
PRINT_INFO (9479,0040,2)
PRINT_INFO (2529,5228,1)
PRINT_INFO (9198,5228,2)
PRINT_INFO (9399,5458,1)
PRINT_INFO (12344,0473,3)
PRINT_INFO (14119,5335,1)
PRINT_INFO (14120,5335,2)
PRINT_INFO (14248,0267,3)
PRINT_INFO (19341,0314,1)
PRINT_INFO (19343,0314,3)
PRINT_INFO (19332,5268,1)
PRINT_INFO (19333,5268,2)

So i know the data being sent to the subroutine is complete and correct. This is how the sub routine parses the data
my ($netid, $sitename, $sector) = @_;

[download]
Now, from the actual data that the subrourine prints, the data itself is correct. However, the titles are not, it prints the same title a few times, or goes out of order, all kinds of wierd stuff, but the actual data, is correct.
Thanks In Advance
