Re: Assignment of hash to hash doesn't work?

In addition to what the fellow brothers said above, $recordset_TA_SITE[0]{'Age'} only works because Perl is secretly interpreting it as $recordset_TA_SITE[0]->{'Age'}. This happens only for nested structures (more precisely: from the second level onwards) and therefore $site{'Age'} is not automatically interpreted as $site->{'Age'}.

Or more easy to remember: Perl assumes a '`->`' between closing and opening square and curly brackets. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics	[reply] [d/l]
