in reply to Getting loopy while appending HoH

Keys to a hash must be unique. $apid is the same value for every iteration through your loop. If you need to support multiple values per key, you could use a Hash-of-Arrays... data structure.

As an aside, Data::Dumper is a convenient way to display your whole data structure:

print Dumper(\%cmdData);

    Doh! Crap. *headdesk*

    Yea, the Apids are the same. I clearly wasn't thinking when I made those the keys (which I did because that's what I'm going to need to sort by later).

    OK, back to the drawing board...

    Thanks!
