Re: Finding Location of Hash Structure?

When you use a hash:

     $Hash{"HashID"} = 0;

but when you define it:

     my %Hash = ();    # or just 'my %Hash;'
[download]

so maybe you should look for '%CONTACTS'.

How have you looked in your code? When you do `grep -rn 'CONTACTS' ` in the root directory of your code, every result is `$CONTACTS{...}`? Upate: show complete command* The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Perl doesn't require declarations.	[reply]

Some piece of code puts data in %CONTACTS, some other piece of code uses it. This is kind of a bad programming style, but you run into it a lot in legacy code. You'll just have to look for anything that looks like it's storing data in there.	[reply]
