Hopefully you understand what that data structure means. It means that, at the top level, you are creating a hash ref with two pairs of elements, each with a hash ref as a key. My guess is that you are probably looking for:
[
{
flinstones => "fred",
jetsons => "george"
},
{
flinstones => "fred",
jetsons => "jane"
},
{
flinstones => "barney",
jetsons => "george"
},
{
flinstones => "barney",
jetsons => "jane"
},
];
With your data strcture, try this code:
use Data::Dumper;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $blah =
{
{
flinstones => "fred",
jetsons => "george"
},
{
flinstones => "fred",
jetsons => "jane"
},
{
flinstones => "barney",
jetsons => "george"
},
{
flinstones => "barney",
jetsons => "jane"
},
};
print Dumper($blah);
Which prints:
$VAR1 = {
'HASH(0x224ef8)' => {
'flinstones' => 'fred',
'jetsons' => 'jane'
},
'HASH(0x1876560)' => {
'flinstones' => 'barney',
'jetsons' => 'jane'
}
};

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).
