Hi,

I have a file in the following format, mm/dd/yy,decimal_number.


07/01/02,8419
07/02/02,6344
07/03/02,6487
07/04/02,719
07/05/02,3768
07/06/02,1270
07/07/02,7
07/08/02,5179
07/09/02,9990
07/10/02,7968
07/11/02,7605
07/02/02,8892
07/03/02,5550
07/04/02,6483
07/05/02,786
07/06/02,4094
07/06/02,954
07/07/02,6
07/09/02,5232
07/10/02,10405
07/11/02,7600
07/12/02,7581

What I need to do is key on the date, then sum the numbers for the
date, then send the date and sum to a file of the same format as above.

So far, I've got this,

$File   = $ARGV[0];
open (F, "$File") || die "Oops, did you type the right filename?\n";

while (<F>) {
   ($date, $number) = split "," ;
   push (@{$numbers{$date}}, $number);
}

Does that look right?  I'm not sure how to go from here.  I really have
a hard time understanding how to manipulate hashes.  The syntax kills my
brain.  

Any help would probably make my head quit hurting so much!
