One minor nit: perl will interpolate inside of double-quoted strings, so
you could save yourself a lot of typing by writing:

     print "$i $name $f_name $l_name $ph\n";

Much cleaner, eh?  

(And BTW, in Perl 5.10, you won't need the "\n" either.  You can just
say: 'say "$i $name $f_name $l_name $ph"'.  Nice.)
