    Hi,
    and welcome to the Monastery.

    What you are asking is a non-question, and therefore this one is a non-answer. :)

    Despite some monk's questionable reputation as a wizard, in principle, we are not in the miracle business, so it would be difficult to give you a suitable solution, especially because your question looks suspiciously like homework.

    You should better have a look at these nodes, to give you an idea of what we can and cannot do:

    As for being grateful, let me remind you that we do what we do because we like it. Nobody forces us but, as Don Corleone used to say, "You don't ask with respect, you don't offer friendship ... "1. :)

    Cheers

      Ah, Godfather quotes.

      It seems true in some parts of the U.S. that if you can't use an appropriate Godfather quote at least weekly, you're not a real man. :)

    You will find that while people on this site are keen to help you to learn perl and to answer questions they are less keen to do your work for you. Try writing the program then, when you get stuck, come back, show us what you've done and ask for help.

    I will help you with one (well, actually both) programs.

    #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; $_=q~M1&5A<B!496%C:&5R+`H*22!H860@82!L:71T;&4@=')O=6)L92!W:71H('1HM92! +P<F]G<F%M('EO=2!A<W-I9VYE9"X@22!A<VME9"!S;VUE;VYE"G1O(&AEM;'`@;64@86Y +D('1H92!L:71T;&4@8G5G9V5R(&=A=F4@;64@=&AI<R!P<F]GM<F%M+B!)('=A<R!W;VY +D97)I;F<*:68@>6]U(&-O=6QD(&=O(&]V97(@82!FM97<@<&]I;G1S(&]F('1H92!P<F] +G<F%M(&%N9"!P;W-S:6)L>2!P;VEN=`IMM92!I;B!T:&4@9&ER96-T:6]N(&]F('-O;64 +@:&5L<&9U;"!R969E<F5N8V5SM+B!!;'-O+"!C86X@=V4@<F5V:65W"G1H92!U<V4@;V8 +@=&AE("=P97)L9&]CM)R!C;VUM86YD(&YE>'0@=V5E:S\*"@I4:&%N:W,L"D$@<W1U9&5 +N="!W:&\@/=VES:&5S('1O(&QE87)N~; print unpack("u*",$_),$/;

    It probably won't get you the grade for which you are looking, however, it just may get you the help that you need.

    Is it really necessary to be a text file? Sounds simple enough to get your feet a little wet and learn to use a database.
