Wait a minute there. I'm not learning programming. I've been a perl programmer for 7 years and have written hundreds of more complex programs than this and have written to thousands of files in my time. I just needed another pair of eyes to possibly point out what I was doing wrong. Also, posting to this list is not wasting hundreds of other people's time. It's a discussion list. If you're looking at my message it means that you're either seeking to help or seeking help. Therefore, you are choosing to devote a few minutes of your time to help or be helped. Sorry my post rubbed you the wrong way.
