Re: numbers not adding up!

Found it - in not using the recommended use strict, you have two variables with very similar names - $segSize and $seqSize. The latter, not being defined, adds nothing to $offset.

Make all your code start with:

  #! /usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  ...

and this particular problem will never go unnoticed again.

No, actually, I don't have eagle eyes. I have thirty-nine year old human eyes, and on top of that I'm sitting in a dark room, after an afternoon of driving toward the sun. You completely missed my point! I took your program, added the magic incantations: `#! /usr/bin/perl -w use strict; ...insert your program here...` [download] and then I ran it, and Perl itself told me what was wrong with it. pbeckingham - typist, perishable vertebrate.
