Hi McA,

Waow, thanks it worked perfectly, but could you just please explain it to me ^^" I'm unused to your use of : ? %{$values[0][0]} : ();

The Data::Diver example will die if $values[0][0] is defined and true but not a hashref - e.g. if it's an arrayref. `use Data::Diver 'Dive'; use Scalar::Does 'does'; if (my $want = Dive( \@values, qw/ 0 0 / )) { %valeur = %$want if does($want, 'HASH'); }` [download] `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l]

Waow thanks, I really didn't push the `defined` so far ... I just tested it (the first method, I'm having some trouble with your second, some undeclared varibles...), It's working as well, thanks	[reply] [d/l]

the first method, I'm having some trouble with your second, some undeclared varibles... Its a missing ")" one pair for if() and another for Dive()	[reply]

Hi! Sorry for the late reply: Please have a look at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Conditional-Operator . This operator is also known as triadic operator. It's a kind of if-then-else-operator. Hope it helps Best regards McA	[reply]

Hi, Not a problem, I just though you didn't see my reply ^^" Well thanks, it's a little easier to understand now with some documentation. Thanks again for your answers Regards, HJO	[reply]
