First let me say thanks I think this will work. I have added and modified my
shipping.asc file to the following:

FLATD   Standard
                 criteria <<EOC
                   [calc]
                     my $total = 0;
                     [item-list]
                       $total += ([item-quantity] * 8.95) if
q{[item-modifier size]} =~ /^S/i;
                       $total += ([item-quantity] * 9.95) if
q{[item-modifier size]} =~ /^M/i;
                       $total += ([item-quantity] * 10.95) if
q{[item-modifier size]} =~ /^L/i;
                       $total += ([item-quantity] * 11.95) if
q{[item-modifier size]} =~ /^XL/i;
                     [/item-list]
                     return $total;
                   [/calc]
EOC
         min     0
         max     999999
         cost    f @@TOTAL@@

My options.txt is as follows:

code  o_master sku   o_group o_enable o_label o_value             o_widget
price
AP212 1        AP212 Size    1        Size    m=Medium*,^Ml=Large select
m==32.95,l==49.95

I have remove all the collumns that are not used.

With the above two when i try to buy a "AP212" i get "Note: No match found
for mode 'FLATD', quantity '', returning 0." error message.

What can I do to trouble shoot? Or what have i done wrong?:)

Thanks again for all the help,
