Ok... I'll post the full perl script later today

Why? What part of my post was unclear? Did you not understand the
solution I gave you?

and I'll see if I can
fix the "Uhm. Ew." problems.

Again, if you read the documentation I pointed you to, there's no need
to post again to correct it.

This is my first real program with perl
so be gentle when you see the goto loop, and all the other stupid stuff
I did. :-)

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for a goto "loop", in any reasonably
high-level language. This is basic programming, and has nothing to do
with Perl.

If you're looking for constructive criticisms of your code, by all
means, post away. But don't post again because you think you'll get a
different solution than I already offered - at the very least not
without trying that solution first.
