In my haste I wrote it incorrectly. It should be
split /,/, $tmpArr[$x]) [1,35];

Just thought I'd revisit this cause I discovered that you can get to a specific field by using a splice. If I want the 2nd and 36th field you can do

($field2,$field36) = (split /,/, $tmpArr[$x])...

try this uuencode $logfile logfile.txt | mailx -s "Alert" m@yahoo.com

I added /^[a-zA-Z0-9\/\,]*$/ and it worked for me.

I wasn't sure if your input was FWD/RWD or FWD/RWD,

Just looking at the code it looks like your handle for input is directed for output. $INFILE = ">$HOME/bin/stem.in";

Thank you for the reply.

Thanks for the replys. I'll have much better understanding of the importance of using locals.

Can someone give me "the lecture" on why you shouldn't make all your varables global when programming in perl. I have been doing this but I have heard that it is not a good practice.

Thanks I wasn't aware of these utilities.

I am attempting to have an upper case and lower case version of the input. I am using tr in perl, but I want to know if this can be done in a more efficient manner.
Here is my code:
