Final Notes:
(for anyone following)
There WAS an issue using the Spreadsheet::ParseExcell module, it really does not like modifying the XLS file then trying to read it back immediately. I ended up re-writing (with some difficulty, not alot of precise info on it) using the Spreadsheet::Read module, which seems (so far), to work just ducky. I appreciate all the time and effort everyone gave with help on my project, I believe I'm to the point of using Use Tk to actually start my script doing something. I ended up not using the grep function as of yet, I may refer to the help provided when I get to the actual GUI part... Thanx a gigabyte to everyone that followed up on my issues (btw; I still get the subscript -1 issue arbitrarily, I will investigate that next).
In the words of the Swartz... "I'll be back"
Thanx again, I'll email twinkies out tomorrow.

Has anyone seen this sliced bread thing? I's better than... sliced... well... never mind...
