It is not a problem, and by now all the excess nodes have been reaped. It has probably cost you a few experience points, and you've gotten off to a rocky start, but you are welcome here at the monastery. :)

Since the monks here are offering their expertise for free, you'll need to do your best to make it easy for people to help you. That usually means that you will:

• Try hard yourself before you post a question
• Use tutorials, frequently asked questions and Super Search before posting
• Post your question clearly and effectively
• Make your question as concise as possible while still showing all the code you need (sometimes this involves creating a very compact contrived example)

There are lots of other resources for a monk who is just getting started, and you will make the best use of the advice offered here if you spend a few hours reading About the PerlMonks FAQ carefully.

Welcome! :)
