We would really really like to see that you have a good understanding of the fundamentals so that we know where you are having trouble. How about posting some sample code for us so that we can see where you are coming from and where you are having difficulty.

Note that you should use code tags to get the sort of result shown below rather than breaks. See Writeup Formatting Tips to see how things get done.

Here's a sample of how your sample code should be presented. You, of course, replace the comment lines with a first attempt at the code.

use warnings; use strict; # my attempt at reading the data using <DATA> and printing # the output as I want it __DATA__ - Some words here - some other words on this line - you get the idea # Result should look like this: 'SOME WORDS HERE'/ 'SOME OTHER WORDS ON THIS LINE'/ 'YOU GET THE IDEA'

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

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.
  • Please read these before you post! —
