Allison, Check out pages 133 - 135 in Learning Perl (3rd Edition) - the section "AutoIncrement and Autodecrement" section _ particularly the top of page 135 has an example for just this very question! I just read that last week so it popped right up in my mind.
If you don't have the book, holler back to me off-line and I will type out the code - it is not too long. Glenn.
