Ok I'm seeing the concept mentally, but alas my handicap with perl (still learning) makes me post this question: A sub calls another sub which returns an array to the original, now the original sub has an array which it tests each element for a regex pattern. If that element in the original array contains the pattern, insert the results of the other subroutine. Ok to better illustrate, here's my example: 
for (@array) {
  if ($_ =~ /CONTENT/) {
    my @list = &getlist($type, $index)
    #... gotta find out what to do from here.
  }
}

As you can see, I'd prefer to splice the array into the original one, the only solution that I can come up with (only one cup of coffee so far) is to concantenate each element in the internal array and assign it to $_ and splice it back in. How would you do it?
