I sure hope it didn't hurt anyone elses head as much as it hurts mine.
My initial 'success' was sheer luck. In testing, I noticed certain
length column names would do the wrong thing... Turns out I had to
malloc the struct varlena* so it was padded to account for the size
of the attached vl_dat data, to keep vl_dat from stepping all over
the place... oh, /that's/ why I like perl ;-)
cheers. brent
