[Buffalo-pm] Question: How to iterate through 2 arrays and merge columns

[Shankar, Ganesh]

That was it! Thanks.  I'm still getting the uninitialized value warning,
but the script works.  I'm moving on, but I'll keep trying to figure out
the warning.

Thanks, again.

You still have commas in here, so it's not creating one big string.  
You need to convert all of the commas to periods, including the ones  
after the "\t". If you fix that, I think you should be all set.

As far as your 'our' problems, here's the snippet from the docs:

An "our" declares the listed variables to be valid globals
                within the enclosing block, file, or "eval".  That  
is, it has
                the same scoping rules as a "my" declaration, but  
does not cre-
                ate a local variable.

The trick is "within the enclosing block," which in your case was the  
'for' loop. In general, most normal programs never need 'our'. You  
should just just 'my', and watch out for the scoping issue you ran into.
