Re^2: adding a new hash in an array

Thanks,

This is the code that works:

my @arr;
my $loop_status;
my $loop_name;

MAINLOOP:
foreach $line (@lines) {
  ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $line);
  chomp($name);
  chomp($value);

  if ($name eq "loop" and $value eq "start") {
    $loop_status = "start";
    next MAINLOOP;
  }
  if ($name eq "loop_name") {
    $loop_name = $value;
    next MAINLOOP;
  }
  if ($name eq "loop" and $value eq "stop") {
    $loop_status = "stop";
    $template->param(eval "$loop_name" => \@arr);
    next MAINLOOP;
  }

  if ($loop_status eq "start") {
    if ($name eq "row" and $value eq "start") {
      $cnt++;
      push(@arr,{});
      next MAINLOOP;
    }
    $arr[$cnt]{eval "$name"} = $value;
  }
  else {
    $template->param($name, $value);
  }
}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $template->output;

I know my code is a mess :-(
But it works fine now.
I tried to put use strict but I got the whole bunch of error messages so I will skip it.

Another question:
Is there a standard way to store session variables?

I tried to put use strict but I got the whole bunch of error messages so I will skip it.

That's the whole point of use strict. Those error messages are telling you why your code is broken. You would never have run into the problem you just had if your code was strict-compliant.

Is there a standard way to store session variables?

Indeed. Check out CGI::Session.
