[prog] perl woes...

[Patricia Fraser]

Jacinta,

I can't believe how nice people have been to spend *any* of their 
weekend on my messy questions, let alone the great explanations I've 
received. Thank you!

Thanks so much - I have already done that, and am now trying to fill 
gaps in my understanding. I guess learning Perl ouwards-from-the-middle 
is not really the way to build the best basic understanding - all I 
hope is it doesn't turn me into a pest!

Many thanks to you and to Elizabeth for clearing up the dereferencing 
thing - I now have Stage 1 working and (more to the point) I understand 
what it's *doing*! And thanks also for the code examples; I really 
appreciate seeing the many different ways to do things. (Perl is 
*nice*).

Yes. After Wolfgang's heads-up yesterday, I've gone hunting, and think 
I might be on the track of something - but it will probably come down 
to the redesign, because of data security as you say.

Thanks again, everyone!
