note marquezc329 <p>[myelinviolin],</p> <p>Along with following the advice you've already been given and working through [2teez]'s example, I'd recommend taking a look at [http://perldoc.perl.org/perlintro.html#Perl-variable-types|Perlintro (Variable Types)] for information on initializing a hash/accessing its key/value pairs, etc. [Getting Started with Perl] also covers the tools required to solve this problem.</p> <p> Don't forget: Copy => Paste doesn't count as learning ;) </p> 1003504 1003504
