Thanks for the input. I didn't realize you could do that. I know that the data structure will be the same with regards to ARRAY vs. HASH. I pretty sure the problem is due to my code trying to access the same data that's in two (or more) locations (which I'll have to access each of them to create a new line of text output.) I'm pretty sure I'll need to use nested foreach statements. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to do this with this wierd data structure that has hashes and arrays and bless statements...
