The first step is to place data management above writing html. That is a matter of reporting, and should be well-removed from data processing.

    Actually I am just a student, and this is a task assigned to me from my tutor. Since he didn't give us any materials on learning perl, I have to learn all fundamentals from web by myself. I know the algorithm of this snippet is awful easy but I was just stuck on it b'cause I know little about Perl. Anyway, thank you guys for help,really appreciate!

      So I just did your homework for you? I feel so used. lol.

      Do take fifteen minutes to read through perlsyn, and then through perlretut. At least then you'll have the background knowlege that your tutor intended for you to learn, but that we deprived you of by answering your question rather than teaching.
