John,

Thanks:

1. It felt funny doing it, but it seemed to work, so I left it.

2. Just to clarify: The first time through the loop, $la[0] contains "Medina, OH", then I do a split /\,\s*/, $la[0] and assign it back into @la, so now $la[0] should contain "Medina" and $la[1] should contain "OH". Second time through the loop, I select "5", $la[0] gets assigned into the hash, and I shift, which should bump "Medina" out, and put "OH" at $la[0].

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
