in reply to sumof - attempting to sum a column from each file

You are resetting and redeclaring $sumof inside the loop. Therefore, it cannot hold the sum value when you print it.
You can use strict and warnings to make Perl guard these (and many more) errors.

    I think I'm going to rewrite my script from scratch to get a better hang of the suggestions and see the whole picture as I write it. I appreciate all your input, as this has greatly helped me.
