Re^2: out of order tree generation

the chart i'm trying to make should look like:

           Professor
  v-----------v------------v---------v
Cubert      Hermes      Zoidberg    Amy
         v----------v
      Dwight      Leela
               v--------------v
              Fry           Bender
[download]

so as you can see, top down. To do the find, would i use the map function or is there something better?

Personally I'd build a Hash of Arrays `%children` , by looping with `while(my ($id, $att) = each %second_level)` and pushing into `$children{$boss_id}` No code sorry this looks too much like homework, but actually you have enough now anyway ...;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Good luck! =) As a side note, efficiently printing the tree is far more challenging. I'd probably try a recursive approach where you first calculate all subtrees and their width to be able to design the actual tree. But this wouldn't be as space efficient as your handmade diagram.
