What I did to put our orders into a database is use a non-safe perl
eval (see the realperl stuff) to write to DBI in the report page... you
could do the same thing, or something similar. Write a global tag or
global sub... feed in the info you need, and write it to a file somewhere.
You could use the perl tag to create your comma seperated list and then
have a global sub that took the list and the order number to name your
file... and write it out.
