Hey guys

Thanks for the detailed replies, they have really helped me a great deal!!

@Don: I decided to maybe use an Array as I wasn't aware of any other way of doing what I wanted to do using KSH ... I have only been using it for a week but I guess I have been proven wrong that I can do what I need without an Array.

TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array(3pm)			 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			 TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array(3pm)

NAME
TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array - Internal TAP::Parser array Iterator VERSION
Version 3.17 SYNOPSIS
# see TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory for preferred usage # to use directly: use TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array; my @data = ('foo', 'bar', baz'); my $it = TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array->new(@data); my $line = $it->next; DESCRIPTION
This is a simple iterator wrapper for arrays of scalar content, used by TAP::Parser. Unless you're subclassing, you probably won't need to use this module directly. METHODS
Class Methods "new" Create an iterator. Takes one argument: an $array_ref Instance Methods "next" Iterate through it, of course. "next_raw" Iterate raw input without applying any fixes for quirky input syntax. "wait" Get the wait status for this iterator. For an array iterator this will always be zero. "exit" Get the exit status for this iterator. For an array iterator this will always be zero. ATTRIBUTION
