To the psychiatrist, I go for my conversion therapy then! But seriously thank you for the constructive criticism. As I say I'm still very much a beginner and it is comments like these which are going to make me better. Could you please explain something for me though? Regarding setting the array to undef - I completely understand what you are saying. I was wondering why the array was 1 element longer than what it was supposed to be and now I know. I also have an understanding with what you are saying with the lexical scalar variable $input_file. But I am not sure what I need to do to get around these. As you can see from my code, I need them to be global variables, so I define them outside of the WHILE loops. If you say that you see them as redundant can you tell me how to get around doing this?
Once again, thanks!

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).
