I had thought about that, but there are some peculiar problems 
concerning duplicate key strings ("mark" and "Mark" are two different 
things) and copyright restrictions that may prevent merging them 
(sigh). Now I am asking myself why I am bothering with a tied hash to 
begin with? The file's pretty big, but doesn't have but 3,000 
physical lines and I think that just using

if (/^$query/i)

may be perfectly acceptable. Thanks for your help.
