yup. got it fixed and found a couple other problems. in the course of messing around
with the script, i made it a little better.

when looking for an event, you can give the name of the event as a regular expression.


. = match a single character
*  =  match character 0 or more times
+  = match character 1 or more times
?  = match character 1 or 0 times

basically, specifying "TVL.*" for the event name to search for will get you:
TVL
TVL DL
TVL PARSE

and all of the items needed to run these 3 events.

get the idea?

if you just specify "TVL", you'll only get the TVL event (and its items). 

see "http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html" for a complete regular
expression rundown...
