Hi, I have a basic perl script that is for a pay per click advert. It stores users in a file and has basic password code to login and see what is owed. The user, password, privalege (user / admin), pence per click and number of clicks so far is stored in a txt file. This is part of the script: open(FILE,"details.txt"); @raw = <FILE>; close FILE; $line=0; foreach $line (@raw) { chomp $line; ($user,$pass,$priv,$ppc,$nc) = split /:/,$line; What I want to do is multiply $ppc and $nc together for each user and then add them all together set it as a variable to show the total of all users to be displayed in an admin account (so it's possible to see profit :D ). How can I do this? Many Thanks, Davros

$total = 0; open(FILE,"details.txt" or die $!); while (<FILE>) {    chomp;    ($user,$pass,$priv,$ppc,$nc) = split /:/;    $product = $ppc * $nc;    $total += $prod; } close FILE; print $total;
