In this code output, how do I access the sub-components of column_defs, for eg : how do i extract the data_length of a in column_defs ? output :

create table as1( a float, b integer, c char)
$VAR1 = {
          'org_table_names' => [
                                 'as1'
                               ],
          'column_names' => [
                              'A',
                              'B',
                              'C'
                            ],
          'command' => 'CREATE',
          'table_names' => [
                             'AS1'
                           ],
          'org_col_names' => [
                               'a',
                               'b',
                               'c'
                             ],
          'column_defs' => {
                             'a' => {
                                      'data_length' => undef,
                                      'data_type' => 'FLOAT'
                                    },
                             'b' => {
                                      'data_length' => undef,
                                      'data_type' => 'INTEGER'
                                    },
                             'c' => {
                                      'data_length' => undef,
                                      'data_type' => 'CHAR'
                                    }
                           }

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.
