Re: Not a HASH reference

Your XML has 2 SD elements

<SD TITLE="A" FLAGS="" HOST="gamegrene.com">
  <TITLE TEXT="Gamegrene"/>
  <OWNER NAME="Disobey"/>
</SD>
<SD>
  <POPULARITY URL="gamegrene.com/" TEXT="6678166" SOURCE="panel"/>
  <REACH RANK="5826716"/>
  <RANK DELTA="-550802"/>
</SD>
[download]

XMLin builds the structure as

{
  SD   => [
          {
            FLAGS => "",
            HOST  => "gamegrene.com",
            OWNER => { NAME => "Disobey" },
            TITLE => ["A", { TEXT => "Gamegrene" }],
          },
          {
            POPULARITY => { SOURCE => "panel", TEXT => 6678166, URL =>
+ "gamegrene.com/" },
            RANK => { DELTA => -550802 },
            REACH => { RANK => 5826716 },
          },
        ],
}
[download]

therefore $xml->{SD} is an arrayref not a hashref

So when I check for an array in line 69 like this: `if (ref($xml->{SD}{AMZN}{PRODUCT}) eq "ARRAY")` [download] it should return TRUE, but I keep getting a "NOT HASH reference" error at this line! Frank	[reply] [d/l]

`$xml->{SD}` is an arrayref, so `$xml->{SD}{AMZN}` is not a thing. I strongly advise switching to a saner XML module. XML::LibXML is my favourite. toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l] [select]
