Thanks for pointing out a very simple concept that I was overlooking completely. I was thinking that I needed to write each individual file to it's own array, for comparison 1 file at a time. Yeah, why not write all of the "non-beginning" files to one array!!! BTW, yes, the file sizes are very small; usally between 9k - 11k. Thanks for all of your help, as well as providing me (and others) with Array::Compare.
