First, I'd like to thank you very much for solving the deref. That did in fact solve the problem with my data structure. However, I would like to know why you're inferring that I don't know the difference between my and local. Perhaps I've used an instance improperly, but I do know the differences and (supposedly) when to use them. I've locallized my scope where possible, and, where impossible, used local to allow scope to continue on to called subroutines.

Would you mind elaborating? I'm not claiming to be right, but I sure don't know unless you give me a bit more detail as to your criticism.

Either way, thanks again! :-)
