This script runs, but I noticed 2 things.
1. Running it complains about an unitialized value
at line 37, $prefix. Maybe add an else clause.

 if ($time < 0) {
    $time = - $time;
    $prefix = "- ";
    }else{$prefix=''}

2. I'm getting a strange chr(2), "shaded box", printed out
as a separator between each field. In the example below
'a' is shown where I show a shaded box.
a8ah a53am a25as
I can see where it's coming from, it kindof gives it an
"odometer" effect. :-) Maybe remove the \002 's from
the push @data lines.

• 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.
