Hello Monks, first-time poster, and Perl newbie here.

Hello redapplesonly and welcome to the Monastery.

You have good, technical replies already. I just wanted to thank you as a first-time poster for writing such a well-formed post, both in terms of the content and the formatting. By including a clear problem statement, what you tried and how it failed you have given the monks every opportunity to help you. And this is borne out by the swift and helpful replies you have received.

I hope that the responses encourage you to stick around here and make the most from what the Monastery has to offer.

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.
