Popcorn Dave,

Okay, this absolutely sits side by side with the sunrise, that I so was lucky
to be able to witness this morning...

I'm going to walk through the other responses as well so I can see the different
ways to approach and visualize this data! THANK YOU! :)

Oh yeah, I also wanted to give you a blurb of, 'this is was what I did to make
this work on my end.'

I took this line of code:
while (<DATA>){

and changed it to this:
while (<>){

so I could make the module read from STDIN and direct it to the new file:
./wicked.pl thefile.txt > thedataIneed.txt

and like I said above...WOW!! What a beautiful sunrise!

Simone~
