Sorry about that Fellow Monks. here is version 1.1 *grin* I have a template that gives hints on how to setup (and how many) a Certificate Authority (or CA for short) . One of the things is if more then 1 CA is going to be made out of this template then how is the name of the CA going to change. The easiest thing is to just add a number at a User defined spot. so.. 
_
@s_dn=("c=US,ou=NUM,cn=foo", "c=DE,ou=NUM,cn=foo");
@dn=@s_dn;
my $number=0;
   for(my $i=0; $i<3; $i++,$number++)
   {
           for(@dn) { s/NUM/$number/g}
           # now I would save this dn and other stuff now.
           print @dn;
           print "\tou= should be $number\n";
   }
