...or something like that. Okay... this is what I am trying to do, in more lines or less. 
struct ( DEVICE => { datetime => '$', devicetype => '$', zip => '$', version => '$'});

my $$entry[3] = new DEVICE;
It didn't like the [], and it didn't like $$ in a my statement, so I wound up with... 
struct ( DEVICE => { datetime => '$', devicetype => '$', zip => '$', version => '$'});

my $sn = $entry3;
$$sn = new DEVICE;

Now it doesn't like something. The error is "Modification of a read-only value attempted at verify.pl line 41, <LOG> chunk 1." LOG is a file handle I have open in read-only, and all of this action (save the struct() statement) is inside a while(<LOG>){}. Line 41 is the $$sn = new DEVICE; line.

No where in this script do I write to that file handle. I think the error is bogus, and that it somehow doesn't like the anon reference thingie.

Help?

Thanks,
Travis
