Thank you both, I will certainly give Rex a look.

I can't overstate the value this forum provides regarding module advice.

First, for the suggestions of applicable modules. This isn't the first time I've come up dry searching CPAN both through CPAN and google.

Beyond that, and far more valuable, the inside knowledge that comes along for the ride: "theres X and Y but avoid Y" or "X, Y, and Z, but Z is unsupported and only Y installs easily on your OS."

Amazing.

Thanks,
cbeckley
