Thanks for the tips on the ternary. I had tried that but obviously I had done something wrong and went with the if-else instead. I prefer the ternary as well when I can as I think it's easier to read.

I see your point as far as $token->[0] eq "S". I'm trying to see if the S token has an id="year" in it. If it didn't have the id="year" in it, I wanted it to drop through, but I see now how I can rewrite that.

As far as the abuse of split, yes that was going to get reworked. :) This is really the first time I've dealt with a complex data structure so that was my primary objective.

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
