You are not removing anything from '@arrangement', so if it's not empty to start with, you have an infinite loop here. use warnings; or #! perl -w as suggested by another poster, would have warned you with 'Use of uninitialized value in scalar chomp', signalling that your 'while(@arrangement)' construct is *not* equivalent to while ( defined($_ = shift(@arrangement)) ) This magic only works with while (<FILEHANDLE>) -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
