It would be much better for the Perl program that generates the data to write it to a database. However, going with what you have been given:

use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dump::Streamer; my $data = <<DATA; 'main_data' => [ { 'LEVEL' => '12', 'CARNUM' => '1', 'REGIS#' => '1233456678987645RD ', 'ACCOUNT' => '6510334', 'YEAR' => '2008' }, { 'AMOUNT' => '200.00' }, { 'LEVEL' => '0', 'CARNUM' => '2', 'REGIS#' => '2234565478345R56T ', 'ACCOUNT' => '6510334', 'YEAR' => '2008' }, { 'AMOUNT' => '0.00' } ], DATA local $\; open my $InFile, '<', \$data; my $str = <$InFile>; close $InFile; no strict "vars"; eval "\%hash = ($data);"; my %accounts; while (@{$hash{main_data}}) { my ($accountInfo, $amount) = splice @{$hash{main_data}}, 0, 2; my $acct = $accountInfo->{ACCOUNT}; my $reg = $accountInfo->{'REGIS#'}; delete @{$accountInfo}{'ACCOUNT', 'REGIS#'}; $accounts{$acct}{$reg} = $accountInfo; $accounts{$acct}{$reg}{AMOUNT} = $amount->{AMOUNT}; } use strict; print "$accounts{6510334}{'1233456678987645RD '}{AMOUNT}";

Prints:

200.00

Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
