Seeing what your data looks like would be very helpful. You say it is a text file which would imply carrirage returns, but no where do you disable the record separator so I don't believe you are reading all the data into your array. You do a foreach putting the data into a

You are doing your matching wrong. The only time you can refrain from using the binding operator =~ is when it would be binding the $_ variable. In your case, you are binding against $Ans. Incidentally, I think you can rewrite this: while( ( $Remainder = ($P_length%$CYLLENGTH) ) != 0 ){ #!=0

I'm not completely sure, but here are a couple of things I am noticing: 1) The last line of your module should be a 1 on it's own line. 2) When you declare a sub, don't put the parentheses. Try changing the line 'sub print_test(){' to 'sub print_test{'. It's possible that Perl thinks you're

Don't. :-) "Floating code" I take to mean globals, generally this is poor design in a library. If the code that "floats" is used by the functions then pass the function the values, or encapsulate (there's that OOP word) somehow. If its code specific to a particular function then embed it in t
