There are several things you can do to make it more likely that you'll get useful responses:
  1. Most importantly, use a descriptive title. Most users will only see the title before choosing (or not) to look at your question. Right now there's no indication from the title whether you have an interesting problem or not, so most people will probably assume that you don't;
  2. Format your post so that literal text (ie the three lines in between quotes) appears exactly as you intend. I had to view source to see what the hell you were talking about;
  3. Show us what you've already tried, and instead of just saying "nothing worked" explain how the behaviour of what you've tried differs from what you expected and from what you wanted;
  4. Grow a fabulous moustache. Stalin had a fabulous moustache, and everyone was eager to help him, so maybe it'll work for you too!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
