"I would start by building up an array of hashes. The array represents the lines from the csv-file, and the hashes is the data on each line." So you would load the whole csv file into memory? "Iterating over the csv file you decide if the current line is to be included or treated special." So now I have only parts of the csv file in memory? So if I searched to foo I would only then have the lines that have foo in then in my array? What about editing? In my older even worse write of this (kept track of a mailing list) I would edit the item based on line number. I guess I could put the line number into my hash in the array though. I guess I am not really seeing how this cleans it up much. I might try it though, I will think about it some more. I have just been changing it about so that all the url options go into %options. That is helping a bit. I have also tried to get rid of some of the global vars that are not used anymore. Then I put my page_list and page_search right into the "if ($options{search}){" and else. I put head foot and outside of the if statement. Its helping a little. Also what is "AoH"? Thanks!
