Hi guys,I have tried to work out the answers but the code seems have quiet a few error.I've tried this to create a reference array of hashes:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $data = "members.dat";
open (DAT, $data) or die "\"$data\" not existed or can't be opened!\n"
+;
my @client;  
my @fields = qw/memberno firstname lastname subjuct score/;

while (<DAT>) {
    next if ( /^Surname/ or /^-/ );
    my @values = unpack 'A15A15A15A15A15', $_;
    my %entry = map { $fields[$_] => $values[$_] } ( 0..$#fields );
    push @client, \%entry;
}
[download]

I am worndering whether @client I've created is a reference array of hashes? or is it a real array of hashes.

• 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).
