Mark,
A couple things:
1. if you have something like 099, Perl thinks that you mean the Octal value
of 99. The leading 0 makes Perl think you mean Octal instead of digit. For
example:
my $i = 99; #-- means the value 99
my $j = 099; #-- means the value 99 in Octal
Now, since the Octal number sy
Thanks David, this works in the form that you gave me. However, I am
butchering it up to try and see if it will work with all the values I have
and I run into this error.

I get the impression that perl is interpreting one of my zips as

This should get you started:
I want to be able to determine what zone a zip code falls in from a user
input. Once I write the hash, the data contained within it will remain
unchanged throughout the script except maybe for the occasional update if
things change.
I am just unsure of which approach would be the best or if I ha

An equally valuable answer to my question would be a good online tutorial
about using perl hashs inside out. I haven't found that yet. Most of the
stuff I find in the documentation at perldoc are brief and lack any real
indepth discussion of the number of ways to use a hash.
