    Yeah, that is what I needed. I don't claim to be a paticularly good programmer. I knew there was something like that but I just could not find it. Thanks,

      Not knowing the names of Perl's cryptic $punctuation variables does not a bad programmer make. Better to know how and where to look on the (many) occassions you find you don't know something. perldoc, [id://Super Search], Google are usually good bets.

        Thanks for your kindness. I did search first, it was just a matter of not knowing what to search for.

        Do you know of a cheatsheet of all the those cryptic variables?
