I simply didn't know about splice and knew I could use a slice. :) I
certainly prefer the splice option though. Thank you for pointing it
out.

Good catch. I'm still pretty green with the use of map or grep, etc.
(basically anything that accepts a BLOCK like that) so as you can see
I'm rather clumsy when I use them. :) Thanks for pointing this out
too. :)

I can't believe I opted for a substitution instead of simply
"interpolating" the string... :-X I'll have to blame sed/vim for that
instinctual reaction. :P I guess the way that Perl aliases things
still confuses me a little bit. :)
Thanks again.
