Have a try. Can you: - Read the data into Perl? - Use an array variable? - Sort a list? - Execute a loop, processing each element of a list? If you know enough to put these together, then I suggest you compare the original list of numbers with same list after sorting. If they are the same then your list was in order. The alternative is to look through your list to see if any number is less than the one before it. You'll still need most of the above skills though. Let us know where we can help.
