Re: changing DB delimiters

The Database is separated on the \n when you say my @guests = <GUESTS>;. When you assign a filehandle to an array, it automatically splits on \n. I'm not sure how to change this, but I assume that jeroenes is right. But I do know you can use split.

my @guests = split(/delimiter/, <GUESTS>);

hope that helps

Thank you so much Thabenksta, you and jeroenes are the ones that addressed the problem most effectively. I agree with you in that I'm wanting to write code to get around this kind of "default" setting of splitting records on the newline character.......although I'm still testing code to accomplish this.
