in reply to Find characters in ALL strings

Experts: This is NOT homework in the sense you're thinking. I am 55 years old and trying to teach myself Perl by writing a sudoku solver. Thank you for your help.

    At 55, (according to my daughter) you should be solving these BY HAND, using ONLY your greymatter & a pencil. She read where it delays the onset of Alzheimers, so for Christmas, I rec'd a 3 foot stack of Sudoku books... bless her heart. I keep pointing to my forehead & telling her "Honey, Someday, THIS will all be yours". I'd be interested in seeing your solution when it's finished. Maybe you could put it under "Cool uses for Perl"?
