Hi John,
I received your code. Thanks.
I would like to know how to check the values of the keys in the hash. I
checked the Perl cookbook and It showed me how to get the key value pairs
and print them, but I am not familiar with populating an array with a hash,
or how to
dynamically print the values out.
Please help.
Thanks

s/\s+\Z//; # remove all trailing whitespace
