Thanks for three very helpful answers. I see that my original problem was to focus on getting the variables correct and not paying attention to the data I was sending to them. The three answers I received went far beyond correcting that to point out other improvements and important programing tools techniques.
I have learned a lot and really appreciate such quick and instructive responses. Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
