in reply to substitution problem with ()

Note: the $_ data x,y and z are variable numeric depends on the numeric data it gets at run time.

Unclear spec. In you code z isn't contained in $_. Where does it come from? I know what I mean. Why don't you? Read perlretut and perlre, that should get you on the way.
