sometimes a beginner is just #!%ing clueless where to start.
Since you chose to comment on my post without quoting it, here it is
again:
"If that's the only code you are able to put together for accomplishing
the task you described in another message, it's not reasonable IMO to
ask this list for help now. You'd better take a step back, read a good
(Perl beginners) book and play with some exercises."
If "Flash" had been a truly "clueless" newbie, he would likely have
taken my advice well. We now know that he did not take it well.
