Aha! That's what tilly had suggested, but without the my %hash; first, and
I was getting confused when trying to combine the my and assignment in the same statment! Thanks
Fastolfe, I'd not seen that particular usage before :-)
As regards your other reply, currently I'm shifting off the first
element of the array, which tells me what the record type is. I then join
the array with a delimiter for writing out to a flat file, minus the transaction type
(or rather the transaction type get's built into the key I insert with the join).

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).
