Thanx for the praise. (Blush)
It is DocJohn that is the true guru!

I had almost the same problem with some of the categories that I made special headers for.
For example, I had a special header for Hacking, but I didn't want to use that for
Regional: Oceania: Australia: New South Wales: Localities: P: Port Hacking

What I did was to include all of the path that I wanted in the elsif statement:

elsif ($pod_dir =~ "Computers\/Hacking")
{
open (READIT, "$pod_templatedir/hack.html");
}

(The backslash in the path is not needed here, but I usually include it anyway.)
