What odd results? What are you talking about? Please quote some
context when composing a reply.
Have you seen the Posting Guidelines for this group yet?

Of course you thought that was obvious - you're the one running the
program. You did not, however, specify exactly what was going wrong in
your program when you composed your message.

Really? Then why do you suppose two or three people had to ask you for
more information?

Ah, you are under the mistaken impression that you posted to a mailing
list. You did not. You posted to a Usenet newsgroup. Entering a
private dialog is very much the antithesis of the point of newsgroups
such as these. The point of this newsgroup is to *publicly* help debug
Perl problems, so that other people can see the solutions and learn
from them, both now and in the future.

Not once did you say your code was dying. That's what we wanted to
know. Again, just being obvious to you does not mean we can read your
mind to determine the results.

Mmm, interesting approach. Don't bother finding out what's wrong,
don't bother learning something. Just work around the issue. Well
done.
