Yes, I suppose I am talking more about interface here, rather than performance. I do want the program to be fast and efficient at what it does, but I also want it to be an easy-to-use and efficient tool for loading surveys. The previous version of the program looks to me more like a kludge rather than something that was well thought out with some semblance of design taken in to account.
The possibility of using OO code had crossed my mind, but I was not sure I'd know how to do it properly. (I certainly do like the sample you have shown!) Fortunately, this project is not a priority, so I'm basically working on it during "down-time", which allows me to learn a lot in the process. Can you (or anyone) recommend any specific books for helping to learn poop?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
