@Marshall- thank you very much for your insight. What turned out initially as a way to summarize this data turned into a bigger project than I anticipated, but felt it was a good assignment for me to learn perl.

You definitely nailed what I needed which was keying off the backup set and extracting some attributes associated with it.

My goal of this output was to produce a delimited file as you can see in my print statements. Having to prefix the attributes with a numbering system seemed to help me with sorting it. The file is needed as input to an html table. Anyways, i'll review your pointers and code. Thanks again.
