in reply to reading a text file into hash

I want a pony!

  But you want me to muck out your stable?

Pls read PerlMonks FAQ. This is a place where you can get a lot of help learning, if you care to try, but it's not code-a-matic where you put in a request and the Monks do your work for you.


Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:
  1. code
  2. verbatim error and/or warning messages
  3. a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.
