Sorry for the late replies, work got over-busy and this project set on the backburner, but i'm back on it and a good step ahead thanks to your input.

And i have to say, as for quickly solving my problem with the least effort, varian is right on spot! :)
I should've known that i should've read the documentation more closely. ^^

Also, yes, i've been basically using Data::Dumper all the time, but cut it out of my example code as not relevant. I however use it to basically reverse construct my access code. =)
