The reason I am doing this is purely a learning experience. A couple of perl script written by a previous employee has upper and lowercase variables. It would seem they are at random.
(EX.  Claim_Number,  group_number, AWK, PMI, amount_Billed, ...). There seems to be very little rhyme or reason to it. He did however put filehandlles in all uppercase. I was just going over some of his files and wanted to make them more like the shop standard.(all lowercase unless it is a filehandle and filehandles must be at least 4 characters. Thanks for the advice and I will check out IO::File.
