Re^2: Passing a $Scaler into a while loop...

Thank you for the very helpful reply. It is good to have someone tell where to look for the problem rather than just give you the answer.

Sounding like homework is right for a reason...

The issue is that I am taking corses online with a twelve hour time diffence so any help is often ten hours in comming. This is not good with a deadline and a day job!

Oh. bobf was right (smelling like homework). Do us a favor. If you're looking for pointers for homework, let us know that. Heck, if you're looking for answers for homework, let us know that, too. You're less likely to get answers either way. I appreciate that you state you're looking for pointers and not answers. But let us know that up front. --chargrill `s*lil; $=join'',sort split q; s;.;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$,$/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
