require "subparseform.lib";
&Parse_Form;

#volitile data from searchform.html

$aptsize = $formdata{'aptsize'};
$orent = $formdata{'orent'};
$zone = $formdata{'zone'};
$pricerange = $formdata{'pricerange'};
$month = $formdata{'month'};
$pets = $formdata{'pets'};
$smoke = $formdata{'smoke'};

#opens rental.txt
open (LOG, "<rental.txt") || &ErrorMessage;
@logmessages = <LOG>; 
close (LOG);

#splits log file into seperate entries
foreach $event (@logmessages) {
		@event = split (/=/, $event);

#splits entries into seperate scalars
#print"@pevent\n";

foreach $pevent (@event)  {
		@pevent = split (/,/, $pevent);
}

#compares volitile data against rental.txt
#sorting....

if ($pevent[0]=~/$aptsize/)    {
if ($pevent[1]=~/$orent/)      {
if ($pevent[2]=~/$zone/)       {
