What is the 'i' for? The example above doesn't
have any 'i's in it. What is really in $Avg?
The example above only had 4 fields. This seems
to be looking for 7 fields. Which is it 4 or 7?

Read perlfunc 'split'. Splitting on white space is
covered there. '\s+' would match on more than one space.
'\s*' matches on zero or more spaces. Most of the time
I find " split ' ' " does what I need.
