First of all, you are amazing. Thank you for your help. One thing I didn't put in my example and should have, is some of the diagnosis codes in my arrays start with a letter (e.g., V21564, c5415). So, I am struggling with your lines that say: 

  for (sort { $a <=> $b } keys %{ $Diags{$key} } )
    {
        if (exists $DiagCodes{$_}) 
        {
            printf $fh1 "    %s: %d, %d\n",
                        $DiagNames{ $DiagCodes{$_} },
                        $_,
                        $Diags{$key}->{$_};
        }
        else
        {
            printf $fh1 "    Unrecognized code: %d\n", $_;
        }
    }

because they are set up for a numeric value with the <=>, so I changed it to: 

foreach (sort {$a cmp $b} keys %{$Diags}$key}})

I tried some other things, but that is the one with the least errors, although it is still not running through. I PROMISE this will be the last question I ask for a long time!! Any insight you can give would be amazing!
