Sorry about the indents I went back in fixed that ASAP

Thank you very much for your help. As you can see am still very new to this whole Perl thing and I tend to overthink this just a little ;). I believe I am suppose to be learning how to use File::IO for this assignment, and so would like the resist using solutions that are too clever for me to fully understand

That said, your code is amazingly useful, as in the last five minutes I think I have already seen several problem/imporvements that I should fix or make.

Thanks again,
