You are correct, I do need to start with a simpler example-

I should be able to get a global's type and put it into the form: 

    $hash_glob {$name}    = 
        {        NAME => $name, 
                TYPE => $type,
                VALUE => $value
                    } ;

I should be able to take a script and break it into the form: 

       $hash_scripts {$name} = {
                               NAME => $name,
                   TYPE => $type, 
#continuous, static, dormant, stub, startup are only valid 'types'
                   RETTYPE => $rettype
#all of the possible value types, located in array: @return_value_type
+s                                };

I also want to count number of "nodes" or the amount of characters the script has, as well as where it starts and ends. I don't really know if there's anything else that I need to include...
