Thank you all for your help, I will definately use all or part of most of the responses here. I had another problem, and that is the fact that I have to display multiple columns of information. So I have a bunch of hashes that I need to display now. What I have done so far is to create frames and frames of frames, etc. Using this method, I can ->pack() everything in each frame. This is a little cumbersome, however, since I have about 12 frames now. Thanks again everyone.
