1. Done!

2. Should I declare @lines after opening the files then? Should I declare $ave in my average function?

3. I'm using -e to check and see if the file even exists before attempting to open and read from it.

4. I have not used lexical file handles before, are they used similarly to how file handles are used normally?

5. I was attempting to put all my data into an array so my functions would read it and work accordingly.

6. Experiment, meant to change it back to (<FIN>)

7. Experiment again, was originally @lines.

8. Done!

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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
