Do you want the id (by which you reference things later on in the script) to be the listing? If that is really the case then just change:

my($id)=shift(@temp);

to

my($id)=$temp[7];

This however may have other unwanted results in the code since @temp will now have one more element than it did before (since you didn't shift any thing off). You could change all of your shifts to pops and that should do what you want.

If, however, what you are really concerned with is a display issue in the template below, then you'll want to do something like using: $data{$id}{'Listing'} in the display and leave the code alone.

Does that help?
