Re^3: Converting HoA into HoH

in reply to Re^2: Converting HoA into HoH
in thread Converting HoA into AoH

I had an error in the argument to glob, repaired as noted above.

The superfluous variable was $hoh in the line

my ($hoa, $hoh) = shift;
That doesn't really involve two arguments - the shift only brings in one value, and $hoh remained undefined and unused. I only thought I'd want it at first, and piggybacked its declaration on the arg line.

    Dear Zaxo,
    One last thing here. I'm really sorry for not being precise earlier. I was just trying to pose the problem as simple as possible. The element of the array in my actual production code comes with white space like this:
    my $HoA = { '1,2,flintstones' => [ "fred-1 foo-2", "barney-1 bar-2" ], '2,3,jetsons' => [ "george-1 foo-2", "jane-1 bar-2"], };
    The key of the new hash is identified correctly, the problem is only in the values. Is there a way I can modify your code? In particular, so that it takes the element of the array as "one" entity regardless the white-space?
    So that it doesn't return:
    $VAR1 = [ { '1,2,flintstones' => undef, '2,3,jetsons' => undef }, { '1,2,flintstones' => 'jane-1', '2,3,jetsons' => 'foo-2' }, { '1,2,flintstones' => undef, '2,3,jetsons' => 'bar}' }, { '1,2,flintstones' => 'barney-1', '2,3,jetsons' => 'foo-2' }, { '1,2,flintstones' => undef, '2,3,jetsons' => 'bar-2}' } ];
    But simply:
    my $AoH = [ { '1,2,flinstones' => "fred-1 foo-2", '2,3,jetsons' => "george-1 foo-2" }, { '1,2,flinstones' => "fred-1 foo-2", '2,3,jetsons' => "jane-1 bar-2" }, { '1,2,flinstones' => "barney-1 bar-2", '2,3,jetsons' => "george-1 foo-2" }, { '1,2,flinstones' => "barney-1 bar-2", '2,3,jetsons' => "jane-1 bar-2" }, ];
    I tried to modify your code by changing the type of separator. But doesn't work either. Hope to hear from you again.

      The problem is the same one I had with spaces in the glob. I'll post a working rewrite at top level. The only difference is to insert an escape '\' before each space. If your real data contains other things to mess up glob, treat similarly.
