Found the Text:Table module on CPAN but it's not doing what I want. Not sure if it's me or if I need to go another direction.

What I would like to see happen is something like this (this scenario is hypothetical but illustrates what I am trying to do) - I have 3 databases (1,2,3). In each database are 3 cities (a,b,c) and each city has 3 people (joe, jill, and larry).

I'd like the output (sent to the screen) to display something like this on the screen. Database: 1 City: A Person: Joe As it progresses through the data when it finishes on Joe and switches to Jill I'd like the Person field\area to update to Jill on the screen. Once it runs through all of the Persons (updating what's dispalyed anytime it's processing on a different person) it would then switch to City B - and update the output on the screen accordingly. I don't want it to spit out a whole new table (what I'm running into with Text::Table) just update it in a manner. Hope that makes sense and Thanks again Monks!
