When you declare a variable with my, you initialise it. If you do this inside a loop, the variable is re-initialised on each loop iteration. But if you want the variable to grow as the loop iterates, you need to declare it once only, before the loop:
my @initials;
my @scores;
while (...) # The major loop
{
...
push @initials, $initial_add;
push @scores, $score_total;
...
}
# access @initials and @scores here
Hope that helps,

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
