in thread Code refactoring challenge

I know the code is crap. That's why I went to rewrite it! I didn't write it myself, I just maintain the bugger. Yes, its fugly, but its gotten the job done for the last year or two, (although adding even "use warnings" makes a pretty mess) .. I think this guy was a perl4ish programmer.

Whatever, the exercise was not to pick holes in the crap that's already there, but write those 10 lines you claim ;)

    Well, the easiest thing would be to start over I think. Why don't you post the desired output for the data sample you provided (instead of having us try to compile and run the original program in our heads).
