my (undef, @col) = split /\s+/, <DATA>; # Column names

When splitting on \s+ instead of \t, the first header value, 'Amino Acid Switch Probabiities', will be wrongly split into the @col array. You need to split on tabs to prevent this from happening.

Quite right. My local test copy of the sample data was based on the original OP (which had the tabs squashed to spaces), and I forgot to update my `split` pattern when posting. Corrected now, thanks.	[reply] [d/l]
