If your delimter is ':', why are you splitting on '|'?
And, as a curosity, what purpose/use is the 'out' file handle,
what is the module 'test' being used for, and what did
you expect to accomplish with the write function considering
that you apparently don't have a format specified? Oh, a
couple of other questions occur. Did you use the -w flag and
how may other perl programs (that work) have you written?
