Hello all,

Again, thank you all so much for the code and the tips. I'm still working on the code (not actively, or it would have been done by now, but I was ill the last few days), and I'd like to do a write-up on it when it's done, if you guys think the code's good enough. ;) I'll post it when I've got it all tweaked.

Oh, one more thing... Any idea why I get a syntax error using Tie::File for the line

tie @lines, 'Tie::File', filename or die ...;

When I take off "or die ...;" it works fine. Of course, this isn't desirable. If it can't find the file, I want it to give an error message and die.

Later. :)
