Tilly,

Thanks for the tips, bro. I especially like the first one, if I understand you correctly. Instead of using arbitrary numbers to match code, just use a hash. Very neat. I'll try that out.

As far as learn my editor better, well, one of the major reasons I wrote this program is because I do web design with Dreamweaver which does not have change of case functionality. Also, I use UltraEdit in Windows which also has limited text processing capabilities. It's no Vim or Emacs as far as shortcut keys go. However, UE works very well as a cheap IDE, allowing me to run test code and debug Perl programs very quickly. I tried using Vim (which I used fairly extensively when I used Linux) in Windows the other night but found it a huge pain to use just to test some simple code compared to UE. And I don't really do enough programming to be able to take full advantage of a Vim or Emacs. I've written maybe 6 to 10 small Perl programs in the last year. So by the time it's time for me to write another program, I've all but forgotten what what the shortcut keys are. It gets very frustrating having to look up the simplest keystrokes over and over. But I'm certainly open to suggestions for a better IDE/editor for Perl on Windows if you can recommend one.
