Glad to hear it. Now I'm going to show you how to fish. I was totally unaware of this module prior to this afternoon. To find it I went to https://metacpan.org and in the search box typed "term tab" without pressing return. This popped up a bunch of Term::Table* modules which isn't what we were after, so I deleted the "tab" part and typed "compl" in its place. Click on the first entry which pops up, et voila! Now you too will be able to find modules you didn't know existed. Happy Friday.	[reply]
