Hey hbm,

I think I got it working correctly. All's I really had to do was add a couple of lines (i.e. add $count++, as well as a "else" clause, etc...).

Here's what I got: 

            if ($fields[5] =~ /(OWNER|WAITING)/) 
            {
                $x++;
                $state = $1;
                if ($state eq 'OWNER') { $count = 0; }
                if ($state eq 'WAITING') { $state .= "-$count"; $count
+++; }
                @fields = split " ", $temp[$x];
                print "$state --- @fields\n";
                #Add record to hash based on RECORD_ID
                $records{"$fields[1]"}{ $state } = {
                    USER => "$fields[5]", 
                    FILENAME => "$fields[0]",  
                    PID => "$fields[6]", 
                    TIME => "$fields[9]", 
                    DATE => (join " ", "$fields[10] $fields[11]"), 
                    ELAPSED => []
                };
                #Increment to Next Line
                $x++;
                }
            else {
                $records{"$fields[1]"}{ "WAITING-$count" } = {
                    USER => "$fields[5]", 
                    FILENAME => "$fields[0]",  
                    PID => "$fields[6]", 
                    TIME => "$fields[9]", 
                    DATE => (join " ", "$fields[10] $fields[11]"), 
                    ELAPSED => []
                };
                $count++;
                $x++;
            }
