in reply to How to implement Linked List

I must agree with rinceWind, I don't see the need for linked lists in your example.

For further reference, chapter 3 of Mastering Algorithms with Perl explains how to implement linked lists in Perl. The following code is an example out of the book:

#!/usr/bin/perl $list = $tail = undef; foreach (1..5) { my $node = [ undef, $_ * $_ ]; $list = undef; $tail = \$list; foreach (1..5) { my $node = [ undef, $_ * $_ ]; $$tail = $node; $tail = \$node->[NEXT]; } }
