Homework: 3. preparatory reading or research

The fact that you are a professional actually supports my point. It should have been dead easy for you to find how to check for parameters. Homework needs not be assigned by a school. It can be self-assigned, as it should have been in this case. Sounds like you could use a refresher.

There was no malice in my reply. The idea was to influence others not to give an outright answer in order to influence the poster to actually do his own homework.

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.
