Re^4: help with user selected hash operations?

oh, shoot. i added "warnings" and "diagnostics" after posting this comment, my apologies... i'm still learning what's easiest for me in formatting, but i think i understand what everyone is saying re: indentations.

an incomplete hash reference... i think i get it. i'll make sure to ask my professor about this. hashes are still brand new to me, so i'm getting easily frustrated when i really shouldn't be. thank you!

an incomplete hash reference... The critical point is not that the `{$add_dad}` "name" you are assigning in the `$son_father{$name1} = {$add_dad};` statement is an incomplete hash reference, it's that it is a hash reference at all. Please ask your professor about "anonymous hash and array constructors (or composers)". Please see Making References (item 3 in particular) in perlref. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
