in reply to Re^3: Running Total Array or Hash
in thread Running Total Array or Hash

Looking at "$client_total = {$key} = $client_total/10;", I recommend you read "perlintro -- a brief introduction and overview of Perl".

Here's how you might go about extracting data from a file, storing that data in a data structure, performing calculations on that data, and subsequently storing the results in the same data structure. I've reused the data, and a small amount of the code, from ++kennethk's earlier post. This is intended to give you some pointers as I've really no idea what you're actually trying to achieve.

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use List::Util qw{sum}; my %data = (client => {}, all => {}); my $client = $data{client}; my $all = $data{all}; while (<DATA>) { my ($name, $amount) = split; push @{$client->{$name}{amounts}}, $amount; } for (sort keys %$client) { push @{$all->{clients}}, $_; $client->{$_}{total} = sum @{$client->{$_}{amounts}}; $all->{total} += $client->{$_}{total}; } for (keys %$client) { $client->{$_}{percent} = $client->{$_}{total} * 100 / $all->{total +}; } use Data::Dump; dd \%data; __DATA__ a 1 b 5 a 3 b 7 c 9 a 2

Output:

{ all => { clients => ["a", "b", "c"], total => 27 }, client => { a => { amounts => [1, 3, 2], percent => 22.2222222222222, total => + 6 }, b => { amounts => [5, 7], percent => 44.4444444444444, total => 12 + }, c => { amounts => [9], percent => 33.3333333333333, total => 9 }, }, }
