Okay .... I have just been staring at the following for over an hour ...
Being totally amazed by the fact that it returned an Odd number of elements
in hash assignment Okay ... stuff like that happens ... stuff like that happens
a lot ;-) but the frustrating part is that, I made the same mistake a week ago as
well and then it took me the whole morning .. hmmm ... I think I'm going to have
another cup of coffee ;-)

sub MySub
{
 my (%Information,@Errors);
 # blah blah
 push @Errors,"an Error occured\n" if $whatever;
 return(\%Information,\@Errors);
}

my ($InformationRef,$ErrorsRef)=MySub;
my (%Information,@Errors)=(%{$InformationRef},@{$ErrorsRef}); # !!!

• 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.
