Hi Jon
Hey, is this a competition to identify lapdancers or something? If so, don't
forget to post the URL up here when you've got it working ;-) (especially
since we now know all the answers)
Anyway, one thing that might be causing problems is these two lines in your
one_time sub
> $compare = { split (/:/, $stats)};
> @records = \$compare;
I think you'd be better off to use:
@records = split (/:/, $stats)
At the moment you are splitting to a scalar (which I think just puts the
first (or is it the last?) value from that split into the scalar) and then
assigning a reference to that scalar as an array. I'm sure that's not good
for you (and I'm a bit surprised that -w didn't pick it up, or haven't you
tried it from the command line?)
Other than that I can't see anything that should actually stop it working.
It's not the prettiest code I've ever seen though...
Cheers
