in reply to Perl problem

Never mind I found the solution.

Great. Then you should either update your original post with the solution (while leaving the problem statement intact), or you should post a follow-up. But you should never "blank" your node - it's inconsiderate to those who took the time to respond to the original question, and it provides no benefit to those who come after you with the same question. (See: All your node are belong to us)

HTH,
