Kalluminati,

Before merlyn screams homework ;-) I'd just like to point out a few things.

We are all willing to help when we can but in order to help we need to see the code: Post it! You will not only get a better quality of help, you will also get XP because we like code here especially if it does something in a neat and innovative way.

The other reason is that we are not here to do your work for you: If you have tried to crack a problem (although in this case there are several well documented ways of doing it if I remember correctly) before asking for help, this is fine, but just expecting us to do the work for you is false laziness and therefore a BAD THING!

Go and have a look around the Perlmonks FAQ, monastery guide and formatting tips as this will help you a lot.

Cheers, Elgon

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.
