Hi Scott :( Seems you misundertand what these lists are for. These lists are for people to help people who are helping theirselves, and for people who are helping themselves receive help from people who want to help people helping themselves. There are two things you are going to see when you post something like the thread you just did, and to varying degrees: 1.) RTFM 2.) STFW You've already received suggestions like that so I won't bother engaging in a redundant act. Now, If you're looking for a job as a Perl programmer and the book you have isn't doing it for you (and you don't have the money to buy another one), you prolly shouldn't be looking for a job programming in Perl. Also, Oreilly has books online for you, some they charge for but the perl book is free if you look for it. You can even print a hard copy if you have enough paper. Next time, instead of asking someone to "Do it for you", why don't you try posting your broken code here (or on a list that is more on topic), pointing out to the rest of us where you think the program is bombing? You should also prolly d/l OpenPerlIDE at sourceforge, if you're running a wynd0z3 workstation, it's got a lot of help. Finally, since you site a lack of money, there are lots of self help tutorials out there for Perl as well - but if you still want someone to "Do it for you", instead of "Help you", then I'm your man. Simply lemme know your fax number and I'll shoot you on over my Technical Services Agreement, then you sign and fax back. Then I'll write the application for you :) There's a one hour minimum, of course, so you will be billed for one hour at $85.00/hr.
