Thank you so much for any suggestions. I love working in PERL and hope
to have more time to study it, but I need to turn this project in ASAP.

This is, in general, a REALLY BAD THING to say in a newsgroup such as
this. Many people will take offense at it.

Or tell them to do their own homework. I hope you get credit if she gets an
A... : )

This one was different than the "do this assignment"s we've seen
recently. This OP clearly made a valid attempt at solving the problem,
but didn't know why the code written didn't work correctly. Correcting
faulty code along with explaining why the faulty code was faulty to
begin with is not at all the same as writing a complete program for
someone.
