I'm sorry, no it isn't.. I have trouble when I'm in the middle of
something, explaining it so others will see what I'm up too.

Even with my poor explanation you still managed to hit right on what
I'm trying to do.

I can and I will, but one problem... there was a pretty good gap of
time between my questions on this and your response. In that time, I
moved to another portion of the script and have immersed my self in
that.
It seems my pea brain will not handle immersion in more than one
aspect I'm working with at a time.
I dread trying to jump back into the portion that requires dispatch
tables when I'm making progress in another aspect of the same script.
May sound like a lot o hot air to experienced perl programmers... but
for me it is true.
I'm asking to re-raise this later... and hoping you will see the
response and still feel like wading in again.... Its a lot to ask, but
their it is....
Your reference to `call back' is probably just the ticket... but I
will show actual code that tries to do what I need, and maybe you can
show how a `call back would work.
