A raw list in alphabetic order is probably fine. They can use the find function on their browser to locate things from there. However, if you -really- want a list that you can jump around in by letter:
use strict; use warnings; my (@names, $f, %names); chomp (@names = <DATA>); for (@names) { $f = substr($_, 0, 1); push @{$names{$f}}, $_; } print join ', ', map { "<a href=\"#$_\">$_</a>" } sort keys %names; print "<p>\n\n"; for (sort keys %names) { print "<a name=\"$_\"></a><b>$_</b>\n<ul>"; print join "\n", map { "<li>$_" } sort @{$names{$_}}; print "</ul><p>\n\n"; } __DATA__ Alvin Clarissa Kappa Bob Bubba Zim
There's probably a CSS way to make it so just pressing a key on the keyboard jumps to that letter, but I'm not going to complicate things.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
