Re: Stuck trying to append to a hash, I think

The structure you are generating is actually an arrayref-of-hashrefs.

Try this (untested):

  my $items;
  for my $file (@file) {
        push @$items,
            { name => $file,
              url  => \&Arbitrary_menu_2, # WHere do you get this from
+ ?
            };
  }

Well that was simple. Thank you very much. "url => \&Arbitrary_menu_2, # WHere do you get this from" Each of these entries is a menu option, when clicked it runs the subroutine listed in the url, that truly is arbitrary as in i just made it up as it's more or less irrelevant to the code.
