How to Respond:
Whether this is homework or not is less important than the fact that the
OP did not post any code. Without code it is hard to guess what the OP
wants so the best response is a list of relevant perldocs. That way the
OP has a better idea on how to create code.
How to Post:
When you post a question, you should include:
1. A snippet of the code where you think the problem is.
2. Relevant input.
3. Desired output.
None of these should be over 20 lines long and the whole message not
over 50 (excluding signature). If any of the above go over this limit,
place the part on a web site and post the link. If you question is long,
create a web page for it and post the link.
Clues That This Might Be Homework:
1. No code.
2. No input.
3. The output seems silly, made up, or not from the real world.
Note that using this mailing list to do your homework is not wise.
Everyone here is a volunteer and may too busy to answer your question.
And the person who does answer may not have any more experience than
you.
