Ask for your money back. The *first* step in writing any Perl program
must be to enable strictures and warnings.

Have you read the posting guidelines, yet. They explain how you can help
yourself, but more importanttly, help others help you.

Well, you need to take five minutes, read the guidelines, and follow
them step by step. Then, go over your assignment, and come up with a
spec for your program which others can understand. Then, follow the spec
step by step to write it (with strictures and warnings enabled).

That way, when you his a snag, others will be able to help you.

If @params consists of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), then @params has 9
elements. $params[0] is the first element. $params[8] is the last
element.

You'll need to start quoting an appropriate amount of context, and
responding to specific questions others have asked to have any hope of
staying out of killfiles.
