<modified code deleted> Much more elegant than mine, but by looking at the output, it's still not quite right. Note that there really is no -m option. > After running it I get this output: > > direct > -h postal > -x direct > me-900 > -h ten-me-900 > -m e-900: > -r timbu > -x me-900 > networks-users > -h hidit > -r tenbu > -x networks-users > uncrp > -h pickit > -r oakd > -x uncrp Since this was getting me no where and I have a deadline looming (although I'm still trying to get a handle on multihashes), I've taken another, more successful tact. I'm using Sudarshan Raghavan's suggestion of GetOpt::Std - which I had actually attempted FIRST, with no luck... until Sudarshan's of using local @ARGV and split. Now, I'm a happy camper and may actually meet my deadline. I'm still not very comfy with contructing a datastructure for a multilevel hash, but it's more a matter of getting in more perl practice than I've been able to have, I think. In other words, keep on trucking...! Thanks to everyone who offered their expertise. deb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
