Thanks for your response davorg. I'll take a look at MLDBM. I found something similar to your post using Supersearch. Wish I'd seen that before I posted, it didn't really help though. There really should be an option after a regular search. The code I found there doesn't work... I'm always getting something like this:

Not a scalar string at blib\lib\Storable.pm (autosplit into blib\lib\a
+uto/Storab
le/thaw.al) line 238, at PoeCryptoLib.pm line 191
[download]

I should know better than to code all night... ;o) It will make sense in the morning...
