Might wanna use a <code> tag to enclose your code to make it easier to read.

It sounds to me like you should probably be using a database module to store and sort your information, and then using SQL to perform the sorts and output the data the way you'd like.

DBI and DBD are perfect for these situations, and if you want to be able to open up the file and look at what the code is doing with your info, I'd suggest starting with DBD::CSV and working up from there. Cheers!

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.
