in reply to How can I populate attributes of a hash into another ?

No way. If you add a reference to the %book hash,  print $chapter{name} will still not print what you want. Why do you want to add a book under chapter anyway? Are you sure your data model is good?


I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.

    Maybe there is a way. You could create a tied hash which looks up key/values somewhere else if they are not present.

    However that's something I definitely do not recommend at all. This way lies loss of sanity and lots of hairpulling.

    Yes. I am sure about the data model.
