Display last record

[trailmonk]

We are hoping that an end user will be able to click on a URL link and for that link to point to the last record of our Perl database.

I'm not sure if this helps but, right now, our display.cgi code reads:

#  Read in Data
###############################
open (DATABASE, "$data_file");
@data=<DATABASE>;    
close (DATABASE);
chomp @data;

We could reverse the way the data is displayed by adding:

@reverse = reverse @data;        
@data = @reverse;

but this is a quick fix and it is not what we truly desire. We desire that the end user has an option to click on a URL link so that only the last record is displayed. Do you have an perls of wisdom about this?
