Joel, I have to disagree. An array of hashes is really not necessary b/c I do not need to lookup or reference any element by name. What is in the elements is H02043-H02999 for example. All I need is once the user selection is stored in my tape_import array I need to splice these selections out of the main array and present an updated main array or a whole new array. Here is my code thus far: 

sub import99 
{
print   $q->h3 ({-style=>'Color:#0000CC'},'Please Choose 9940 Tape Ran
+ge for Import.'),
$q->h3 ({-style=>'Color:#CC3300'},'Note: Inject Tapes via Acsls Prior 
+To Import!');
my @H99tapes =('H02043' .. 'H02999'); ##--##MAINARRAY       
my @UserH99tapes = @H99tapes;##--## USER SELECTIONS

print $q->scrolling_list('htapes99',[@H99tapes],[$H99tapes[0]],10,-mul
+tiple=>'true',my %attributes),
$q->submit('form','Submit'),
$q->reset;

##--BEGINIMPORT                                            
##--## AS H NUMBERS ARE SELECTED, REMOVE SUBMITTED ELEMENTS ##--## FRO
+M USER ARRAY
##--## REPOPULATE LIST INTO NEW ARRAY,PRINT NEW ARRAY

my @tape_imports = $q->param(htapes99);          
##--## SELECTED BY USER
my $tape_count = scalar @tape_imports;
$[=0;

foreach (@tape_imports)
{
   splice (@H99tapes,0,$tape_count,@H99tapes)
}


} ##--##  END ROUTINE import99 ##--##
