Hi, I'm not sure if it's precisely what you are interested in but I wrote something a while back that takes two files as arguments and does a basic merge. One file contains a template that is marked up with information as to what variable goes where, and the second file contains a table specifying different values for each variable. If it sounds like something useful, let me know and I'll dig it out, clean it up and send it over. Incidentally, it was one of my very first perl progs, so it's terribly unperlesque. But it works.
