# error message is : "can't use string ("03/06/1997 sold 1000 widget1 0.230

note that the line number isn't accurate here because this isn't an exact
listing of the program.
suggestions?

thanks

just a short followup : 

this is line 33 in the actual program listing

   for ($ctr = 0 ; $ctr < (scalar(@all_of_them)) ; $ctr++) {  
You don't need to say 'scalar' as it will be evaluated in the correct 
context without it.
