Update: Fwee, the wall of text was inlined

Which was quickly corrected when I realised my error, being new here.

Not posting the code and sample data here rather than off site

I was unsure how to go about it. Not wanting to offend with a long code-post, I thought it best to post it on my scratch-pad.

Not showing what you yourself have tried so far in resolving the problem

jeez, who peed in your tea? What else could I have posted to show what I've tried. Did you even bother to look what was posted before slithering over to comment?

Mistakenly presuming that someone here is going to do your work for you for free

That's a lot to assume about someone you don't know. My first post was in in the CB where I mentioned that I was prepared to pay for assistance. Someone then suggested I post it here first.

1. Unfortunately someone probably will, which will just prove that bad behavior gets results here fomenting more freeloading. But some people never learn.

What a nice introduction to PerlMonks. You've made my day. I'm going to cling to the belief that your sour and cynical personality type is not too common here...
