in reply to printing values within a given range

Thanks everyone for your advice! I do now have it working, but its only a very small section of the script I'm trying to write .. as I think I have already said I'm somewhat of a novice but would rather ask for help with snippets and see how I can progress from there, rather than the whole thing if you see what I mean.

The input file was just a text file like this for example 

234
654
123
975

etc ...

    If the input is that simple, why the substr then? 
        # Inside the loop...
    my $checkvalue = substr($_, 0, 6);

    If your input is really that simple, don't calculate $checvalue and use $_ directly, possibly after chomping it.

    Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    Don't fool yourself.
