chomp() removes the contents of the $/ variable from the end of the
string. What makes you think that $val1 and $val2 need to be chomp()ed?
Oops, they are leftovers from when I was using STDIN

Brian,
Your while loops aren't actually performing any operation on the variable
that is being tested as part of their condition. With while loops, if the
condition ($i in this case) is true at the start of the loop, and doesn't
change, they will loop forever. They aren't like for loops, where y

Hi
I had this semi-working, changed something and can't remember where I
went right, so would appreciate some help getting back on top.
I know 1..10 and 2..10 probably won't work in the following example, I
