Dear Monks,
I'm struggeling with packages and eval ... here is my short example:
package items;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Exporter;
my %items;
1;
sub initItems
{
$items{1}{Name} = "Rusty Sword"; # fine
$items{2}{Value} = 2; # fine
eval ("$items{3}{Value} = 2;"); # ERROR: Use of uniniti
+alized value in concatenation (.) or string at items.pm line 16. (th
+is line)
print( Data::Dumper->Dumpxs( [ \ %items ], [ qw{ *items } ] ));
}
When running it (calling items::initItems(); in my main program), I get the error mentioned above, and the output is:
%items = (
'1' => {
'Name' => 'Rusty Sword'
},
'3' => {},
'2' => {
'Value' => 2
}
);
What is wrong? Why does the eval somehow access my hash, but does not add the value? Is it something obvious and I'm just blind today?
Thanks for help! Rata

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
