Srsly. I'm not a n00b.
But This has thing has me scrambled.
An hour in and I'm flustered and no google searching or "Perl By Example" reading is helping.
I know it's something really freaking stoopid but c'mon. I think maybe I'm just tired.
Ok anyway here it is:

%entry = {$item_id=>\@data, $item_id=>\@data.....etc}

%entry is a hash populated by a foreach loop that runs through a set of about 200 items, breaking them apart for atomicity of the data (is that a real word I used just there?)

for my $key (sort keys %entry) {
#print Dumper($entry{$key}[1]);
my @entry;
        for (my $i = 0; $i <= $#entry; $i++){
          print $key, " ========================= \n";
          for (my $j =0; $j <= 10; $j++){
            print "Entry[$i][$j] = $entry[$i][$j] \n";
          }
        }
}

As long as I give an explicit value for $j's range, the output is fine. But I cannot figure out how to access the arraysize for $entry[$i]

And if there is a simpler way to do this that I could implement with my limited expertise in perl I'd love to hear some ideas.

Thanks!

• 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).
