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

Much depends on what you mean by "etc...". By calling your data structure "%hash" (which isn't very descriptive) and stopping right when things got interesting (i.e., how do you handle multiple values that share the key "item"), you've left the problem in an ambiguous state. Part of advancing past newbyness is learning to drive out ambiguity when thinking through what you need to do.

Since in the data you've shown, several strings will end up sharing the "item" key, I suspect that you want individual anonymous hashes, one per group, each having a single "item" key. If this is true, then you want to parse the text into a structure that looks like

my $data = [ { item => 'Athlon 4000+', price => '300 euro', ... }, { item => 'Celeron 3000', price => '200 euro', ... }, ... ];

Does this help?

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.
