Hello!
I often use some kind of expressions:
$self->{db}->{offer}->{product_id}->{name}
... or more longer. How I can easily and painfully detect if any of that are missing keys?
I have this solution:
(($self->{db} || {})->{offer}||{})->{name}
..., but this is quite dirty. It is more complicated if I use tied and blessed references, because the empty hash ref. is not enough, because I often use methods on that: (See the TableMap module)
$self->{db}->{users}->{ $user_id_1 }->limits->{ $user_id_2 };
Is there a good and clean way to do this?
I know that
eval{ $self->{$db}->{users}->{$user_id_1}->limits->{$user_id_2}; };
could be a good solution for trapping undefs in the middle of the hash-refs, but to tell the truth, I am waiting for a solution, that is more elegant. Idea?

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).
