Re: How to Parse a Text into HoA

[pg]

You need to: 1)remember the $fname across loops, so define it outside; 2)also you need to my %hoa; 3) there is no need to define that $content.

use Data::Dumper;

use strict;
use warnings;

my %hoa;
my $fname;
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
    chomp $line;
    if ($line =~ /^[a-z]/ )
    {
        $fname = $line;
    }
    elsif ($line =~ /^[0-9]+,/)
    {
        push @{$hoa{$fname}}, $line;
    }
}               

print Dumper(\%hoa);
