( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hello Perl Monks:

I am using a Perl CGI script to display/edit a file that has data lines like:

5200 "AMX" gtm_dist-V5.4-002B 5600 "TIAA CREFF" gtm_dist-V5.4-001 5995 "Morgan Stanley" gtm_dist-V5.4-001

I match each data line against:

/^(\d\d\d\d)\s+("[^"]+")\s+(\S+)$/

and save in a hash whose key is the 1st field and whose value is a reference to an anonymous array of the 2nd & 3rd fields, ex:

$bkarr{$1} = [ $2 , $3 ];

Should the user choose to delete a line I just delete the hash entry that he specifies via:

delete $kbarr{$K};

before writing out the file. It works, but am I creating a memory leak by doing this? Do I have to somehow clean up the two-entry array whose reference I am holding in the hash entry? Thanks for any advice.

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.
