( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

G'day myhome,

Welcome to the monastery.

Firstly, splitting CSV lines on /,/ is generally not a good idea: that technique falls flat on its face as soon as any data contains a comma. Take a look at: Text::CSV.

To access data in your hashes, you'll want something like $balance{$id}{due_date}. You'll probably want to use the keys function something like this:

for my $id (keys %account) { my $name = $account{$id}{name}; my $cdate = $account{$id}{cdate}; my $account = $account{$id}{account}; my $odue = $account{$id}{odue}; }

For a basic introduction to hashes see perlintro - Perl variable types. More complete details are in perldata. For complex data structures, such as Hashes of Hashes, which is what you're working with here, see perldsc (Perl Data Structures Cookbook).

Finally, please edit your post so that code and data are in <code>...</code> tags, paragraphs are in <p>...</p> tags, bullet lists are in <ul>...</ul> tags, and so on — full details are in Markup in the Monastery.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
