Yeah I think the problem is with the way I'm dong that somehow. Adding : 
printf STDOUT ("1-->%s<--\n", $Row->{ Cells } );
printf STDOUT ("2-->%s<--\n", $FieldOrder );
printf STDOUT ("3-->%s<--\n", $Row->{ Cells }[ ( @$FieldOrder ) ] ) ;

Gave me 
1-->ARRAY(0x2af07dc)<--
2-->ARRAY(0x2ab07dc)<--
3-->HASH(0x2b50058)<--

I don't know what I would have expected for the last one (I think that's like saying $Array[1..4], which surely should be written @Array[1..4], but what do I know ...)
Update Thanks, but tried that first, didn't work, same error.
Update2 Oh wait, I missed that you removed the ( ) around @$FieldOrder also, I seem to be making progress now. Many thanks!
