Hi Peter,

thank you SO much for your help. That last one got it. Placing the 
UseModifier in there I mean. I switched the discount percentages around 
and am using the regex grouping to test for specific sku numbers. Its 
finally working like a charm. You ROCK!

Thanks again.

UseModifier prod_group
CommonAdjust    :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==products,
"&($item->{code}=~/^(?:90|94|40)/ ? '-20%' : '-50%')"
