Thank you very much,

This was just what I was after, so simple, now that I know it, it is these sort of tricks I look out for on this site in an effort to eventually be able come up with them myself.

Please allow me to defend my choice of not using a module for this, apart from a lot of rework of both my script and templates. When I use a template to achieve a result, I've learnt how to use a template, but when I do it myself I better my understanding and knowledge of perl.
Most of my projects are web interfaces and cgi bits and pieces so my use for perl at the moment is narrow, so I am always looking for new methods and techniques, and for that THIS Monastery is a God send <Pun Definitely intended> Thanks to all who responded to my question
