I've shown how I print the values because that's where I'm having the problems. If I delete the default and type in the correct value (say "1 1/2") It works fine. However, when it prints the form, instead of printing the actual value of $ingredientAoH[$i]{qty}, it just prints the first number before a space or a slash. I've verified that $ingredientAoH[$i]{qty} contains the correct value because of the extra print statement in there.
Oh and I don't want to evaluate the expression because I most recipes have things like 1/2 tsp salt... not 0.5 tsp salt. The only thing I can think of is that "-default=>"$ingredientAoH[$i]{qty}"" converts the string into a number. (which I don't want to do)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
