Hi rcxau, and welcome to the Monastery,
I have to admit that a couple replies to your original post nearly made me laugh a drink of water out my nose!
Anyways, you might enjoy reading a few nodes before trying again. There are several other good 'posting help' nodes, but these seem like a good short-list:

How to get the most of your question from the monks
Welcome to the Monastery! Make yourself at home.
Taking a shot at it myself, a Seekers of Perl Wisdom post like this might get you the kind of help that Perl Monks is famous for the world 'round:
G'day mates!
I've a website where I want to do some XML/XSLT content, but am having some problems. (clear description of probs here) I'd like to be able to update the content from a Perl CGI script, but my ISP won't let me install modules.
I used the PerlMonks "Search" form to look for XML and XSLT, but didn't find anything that looked relevant. Any monks care to help out a young Aussie starting out with Perl?
(Ozzite parting phrase here)

Btw, you are to be commended for not posting wrongly to Catagorized Questions and Answers as I did on my first post.
cheers,

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.
