since you only have two variables, have you considered using an array and reversing the array ordering afterwards?

Another thing, get accustomed to and stick around the strictures, and yeah, your code tags would have to be used to contain only your code and not the other body elements in your message (so please update your post accordingly), The code tags are figured to maintain the spaces and keep the code the way you organized it (preserving the lines relationship) so when used out of this context the display would really get distorted for each one of us (Read=> costing you vote-downs and grumbling-upons). So when you preview your message before creating it make sure:

Thanks :) 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;      #get used to this
use warnings;    #and maybe this one too
