BrowserUK,
I follow lines 1-3 (except for the ";;"). But I'm not clear on that last statement. Should "pp" print out the hash reference like in your last line? I can't find documentation for that usage, and I can't make my the script print. "print Dumper($href);" works for me. | [reply] |
(except for the ";;")
Two adjacent semi-colons act exactly the same as a single semicolon. Effectively there is a blank statement (noop) between them.
The difference is that my REPL accumulates what I type until I finish a line with ;; at which point it executes everything I've typed so far as a single chunk of code.
Should "pp" ... "print Dumper($href);" works for me.
pp is just another Dumper()-like routine from Data::Dump.

BrowswerUk: That was very good solution, and exactly what I was looking for. I kept trying to figure out how transversing a hashref will work, and your example really helped.
I was very puzzled by this, but it makes a lot of sense, and cleared up everything for me in terms of understanding data structure. I spent the entire day on this with some really weird results. Now I understand why.
