GrandFather nailed it, so this isn't an answer to your question, but a comment on

$out = sprintf("@tmp");

It's wrong. Using sprintf will cause any % to be interpreted specially.

local $" = ''; # Don't insert spaces. $out = "@tmp"; # sprintf not needed at all.

A better solution would be:

$out = join('', @tmp);

I've also noticed you've been putting your comments in <code>/<c> tags. Please don't do that. Only put code (and other pre-formatted data) in <code>/<c> tags. If the problem is that you don't know HTML, pretty much all you need to know is to put <p> at the start of every paragraph.

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! —

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