Re: Add an arrayref to a hashref

Yes, it's possible. But what do you want the final data structure to look like?

$hashref->{personal} = $arrayref;
# Results in:
{
  name        => "Harsha",
  designation => "Manager",
  personal    => ["Country", "location", "language"],
}
[download]

But based on the values in the array, they sound more like keys...

@{$hashref}{@$arrayref} = ();
# Results in:
{
  name        => "Harsha",
  designation => "Manager",
  Country     => undef,
  location    => undef,
  language    => undef,
}
[download]

Plus a few more possibilities depending on your expected output, so please show that.

I was looking for this: `{ name => "Harsha", designation => "Manager", personal => ["Country", "location", "language"], }` [download] I will have to convert into JSON after that, it should work. Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]

To add to ++haukex's answer, if you want to add an item, dereference the array and push to it : `push(@{ $href->{personal} }, 'birthday' );` [download] If you don't know the items before you build the aref and store in the href: `push(@{ $href->{personal} }, $_) for @some_list;` [download] Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
