Sorry I just noticed they were curly-brackets and not square ones. Cool, this is what I get now:

$records{"$owner_record[1]"} = { 
            USER => "$owner_record[5]", 
            FILENAME => "$owner_record[0]",  
            PID => "$owner_record[6]", 
            TIME => "$owner_record[9]", 
            DATE => (join ":", "$owner_record[10] $owner_record[11]"),
+ 
            ELAPSED => [] 
        };

$VAR1 = {
          '999?SheetMusic' => {
                                'PID' => '5151515',
                                'TIME' => '10:51:00',
                                'DATE' => 'Sep 16',
                                'ELAPSED' => [],
                                'FILENAME' => '/ud/NEW-PrOdUcTs/NWA',
                                'USER' => 'bill'
                              },
          '667!NEWPRODUCT' => {
                                'PID' => '5555555',
                                'TIME' => '10:25:00',
                                'DATE' => 'Sep 16',

Awesome, thanks for your help!

What is the difference between using curly-brackets there and square-brackets?


Thanks,
