i'm a newbie too, but try this-
use slashes instead of backslashes, perl sees backslashes as escapes, so this:

should be:
open(GRADES, "c:/perl/eg/grades.txt") or die "Can't open grades: $!\n";

Hey Bill,
I have never grabbed the .zip files from ActiveState. I always just
run PPM and let it get the files... I believe you can do it manually,
I just have never had a reason to try. At a guess, you may have
problems locating the .ppm file?

Thanks Japhy...
I can see where you are going with this, we convert the month into a number, and then
sort the dates as a string.
My dates are the second keys of a hash of hashes. So I have routine like:
foreach $firstkey (keys %hoh)
{
foreach $thedate (keys %{ $hoh { $firstkey }} )
{
err.. make that "sleep better"
kinda got side tracked with work :}

I stand by my reply to this post. Sure, unpack is quicker. But if you use
regex, i always prefer to use my own defined regex's
my $dateis = "2Jul2001";
my ($date,$month,$year) = $dateis =~ /([0-9]+)([A-Za-z]+)([0-9]+)/;
It makes me sleeper at night

Sorry to pick holes in your first post to the list ;) but this part of your
suggested regex
(\w{3,})
will match any alphanumeric character (i.e it will match on the numbers or
letters in the string). By limiting it to three places, you force the match
to work. It's not good practice tho

perlpeople,
Is it better to open a log file only when I need to write to it, or
open it at the start, and close when done?
A few thousand lines in the log...

if you had thousands of dates to split up, unpack is much faster than
regexes. way way faster.

You'll want to use the Expect module, which can be used to automate
interactive tasks like this.
