Do you know where your variables are?

so how is that superior to using an explicit "name" level in your hash? Using a variable as a name simply introduces exactly the same effect as adding a "name" level to a hash, but you have no easy way to debug your code. If you use a conventional hash you can use modules like Data::Dump (or better still, use an IDE or the debugger) to inspect the contents of the hash for debugging purposes. Consider:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump; my @loci_codes = qw( Bet01 Bet05 Bet06 Bet12 ); my %data; for my $dataIn ( qw( 230;238;101;103;138;146;112;116;; 230;238;101;103;146;146;108;112;; 224;238;0;0;146;146;110;118;; 238;238;0;0;146;146;112;114;; ) ) { my @alelos = split ";", $dataIn; for my $code (@loci_codes) { ++$data{$code}{shift @alelos}; ++$data{$code}{shift @alelos}; } } Data::Dump::dump(\%data); for my $code (@loci_codes) { print "$code: "; print join ', ', map {"$_ ($data{$code}{$_})"} sort {$a <=> $b} keys %{$data{$c +ode}}; print "\n"; }

prints:

{ Bet01 => { 224 => 1, 230 => 2, 238 => 5 }, Bet05 => { "0" => 4, "101" => 2, "103" => 2 }, Bet06 => { 138 => 1, 146 => 7 }, Bet12 => { 108 => 1, 110 => 1, 112 => 3, 114 => 1, 116 => 1, 118 => +1 }, } Bet01: 224 (1), 230 (2), 238 (5) Bet05: 0 (4), 101 (2), 103 (2) Bet06: 138 (1), 146 (7) Bet12: 108 (1), 110 (1), 112 (3), 114 (1), 116 (1), 118 (1)
True laziness is hard work

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.
