CIS 2279 Homework Assignment #07

Due Sunday, Oct 19, 2008

All files created must be saved in your class directory /mnt/homes/CLASSES/CIS227/<username>

Create a perl script named lab07.pl in your user directory. The script that has the following features:
1. Opens the file /mnt/homes/CLASSES/CIS2279/LAB07/stations.dat for reading.
2. From the data found in stations.dat, creates hashes to store several values using the three letter station ID as the common key. The values should be location (lat,lon), common name, zone and elevation. For example, this should be arranged so that $zone{'BTV'} will contain the value "VT005".
3. Once the hashes are created, the script will list the available stations and prompt the user to enter a station ID to display.
4. When the user has provided a station ID, the script will then print out the information about that station (common name, location, elevation and zone) with some descriptive text.
