Re: Iterating though an array of objects

in reply to Iterating though an array of objects

Hello rjhill, and welcome to the Monastery!

In addition to the points noted by moritz above, the statement

print "Hash Value :  $item->{name}\n";

references a non-existent object member “name”; this should be either

print "Hash Value :  $item->{_name}\n";

or (preferably)

print "Hash Value : ", $item->name(), "\n";

The latter is better as it does not break the object’s encapsulation. I suspect this was the syntax you were looking for.

Also, the statement

print "Hash Value :  $item->{version}\n";

references an object member “version” which is not declared or initialised in package person.

A final note: It is usual practice to begin the name of a user-defined package with a capital letter: package Person;.

Hope that helps,

Yes, thank you very much. I hope to spend more time here.
