    Just a suggestion ...
    when posting code, please avoid using the '-d' switch. I realize that
    it throws one into the debugger, but others may not. Given the
    various states of experience in Perl found in this newsgroup, this
    could confuse the not so experienced reader.

    Again - just a suggestion :-)

    Another suggestion is avoid setting '$_'. It's a special variable and
    one should avoid setting it. Again - I understand what you're trying
    to demonstrate, but those less experienced may not.

    Again - just a suggestion ;-)
