Hi,

Without actually running your script I would suggest that it will only return the last item found, and the total number and price of all items found. This is because each iteration of your while loop wipes out the previous entry. The simplest way to get around this would be to print out your info on each iteration rather than at the very end. Alternatively, you might want to use a hash (or array) of arrays (see perlman:perlref for a discussion of references, should you need it).

Other than that, I second the suggestion to use strict and warnings :-)

HTH, Tim
