    so you thought "I'll just add use Strict; then they won't know how slack a programmer I really am.". Unfortunately, as is evident from the replies you already have, bad habits shine through. Always use strictures (use strict; use warnings; - see The strictures, according to Seuss).


    True laziness is hard work
      respected grandfather
      i never meant to write down those things (the comments with strict) i meant it to be somewhere else not with strict pragma... i'am really very sorry to write it down there by mistake
      but is the code alright? i mean is there a major mistake?
      i compiled it on my ubuntu but unfortunately i dont have a LAN to sniff out packets so you see i cannot compile it successfully.....
