fletch-

GREAT idea! Many thanks. I knew someone here would shine a light down one or two of the dark alleys that I never bother to turn the lights on for.

BTW: What is a hyoomon (and how do you pronounce it)? All my searches turn up folks using it, but no one with a definition.

Never heard that one before...

UPDATE:
XML::Simple doesn't work because I can't use @ in my hash key names. As stated in the docs: hash keys from the data structure will be encoded as either XML element names or attribute names. Therefore, you should use hash key names which conform to the relatively strict XML naming rules..."

YAML::Syck Seems to work fine.

PS - Thanks for the help with huh-yoo-man too. I love it!
