Sorry all for the lasck of use of code tags. And thanks for the editing. I can appreciate that if you are going to ask if your code is okay that it helps to present bin such away that people can in fact read it.

The code that I posted does run - part of the out put shown below. I just did not know if this was the correct output.

ARRAY(0x846aa04)ARRAY(0x846aa4c)ARRAY(0x846aa94)ARRAY(0x846aadc)...etc..

Now assuming thats correct, do I need to send the AoA back to the main program for it to be used by another sub_routine. or can I change the way its decleared to make it a global variable?
this is a far as i have got with scoping - using my outside a subroutine, I make a the variable visiable to whole program. Using my insdie a subroutine local makes it local....

Edited by Chady -- shortened the list of array refs because it was breaking the browsers and the actual memory addresses were not relevant.
