sweetblood:
Line 17 is your problem--you're reassigning the hash, rather than just adding to it. Change this:
%mdata = (
$pkey => {
ABC => trim_trailing($rec[1]),
DESC => trim_trailing($rec[2]),
UNIT => trim_trailing($rec[3]),
LOC => trim_trailing($rec[4])
}
)
to this:
$mdata{$pkey} = {
ABC => trim_trailing($rec[1]),
DESC => trim_trailing($rec[2]),
UNIT => trim_trailing($rec[3]),
LOC => trim_trailing($rec[4])
};
While you're at it, I'd suggest changing:
next unless (s/\^/\^/g == 4);
my @rec = split /\^/;
to:
my @rec = split /\^/;
next unless @rec == 5;

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

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).
