I'm very new to Perl, about 2 weeks Perl virgin and a friend of mine told me to come here... I'm not sure how to make out this program I'm trying to emulate. Can someone try to tell me what's going on here? This is a small snipet of code. how do I read this? I'm assuming that you don't need to know what the variables stand for. ###### else { print EBSDET parser ($bai {$ocab}{d16} $1{text_full}, (27- $bai{$ocab}{d16}$1 {n2_offset}), 27,"\;",12); } ###### -- and the other bit of coding is: -- ###### push(@{ $pay($#pay + 1) }, $pay_aba, $pay_acct); ###### thanks again in advance. brother Zo.
