Except it will only work for the first key in %results, as the position in DATA will be at eof.

If you flip around the foreach and the while, it should do as intended.

Update: If you load the variable names (%results), make sure that you use chomp.

    ah!that greatly worked. Thank you very much. swapping the foreach and while and chomping after foreach.
