blink has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Given the following data structure from the perl debugger:

I need to process each 'jobid' after sorting by several criteria, and I'm not sure how to build a data structure to accomodate this criteria.

Currently, my program makes one, big table of all job id's, sorted by pass, fail, or partial. My goal is to create 1 HTML table for each key ( class name) )in the hash above. What seems important to me is to sort the data as such: 

$key = "class_name"
 $list_1 = "list_of_successful_jobIDs"
  $val1 = "12345",
  $val2 = "65432".....(and so on)
 $list_2 = "list_of_failed_jobIDs"
  $val = "98765",
  $val2 = "34567".....{and so on)
 $list_3 = "list_of_part_success_jobIDs"
  $val = "121212",
  $val2 = "393939".....{and so on)

in order to process each jobID.

Here's what I came up with, which obviously doesn't work. I post it here in case it gives any of you some more insight into what I'm trying to do. 

use strict;
use NBUX;
my $newkey;
my %jobs = bpdbjobs();
my %jobsClassKey;
my %classClient;
my %masterClassHash;
my (@successfuljobs, @partiallysuccessful,@failedjobs);

## populate 2nd hash with class as key

foreach my $key (keys %jobs) {
$newkey = $jobs{$key}->{class};
$jobsClassKey{$newkey} = $jobs{$key};
}

foreach my $class (sort keys %jobsClassKey) {

my $jobid = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{jobid};
my $status = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{status};

push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$successfuljobs}} , $jobid      if ($s
+tatus == 0);
push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$partiallysuccessful}} , $jobid   if (
+$status == 1);
push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$failedjobs}} ,  $jobid            if 
+(($status >  1) && \
                                     ($status != 150)); # Termination 
+requested by admin
}

Currently, the way I do it is populate an array of jobID's and process as such: 

 # Partially successful
if ($#partiallysuccessful > 0) {
  print <<EOC;
        <tr>
          <td colspan="13" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#ff
+cc00">
            <h2 align="center">$#partiallysuccessful partial successfu
+ly jobs</h2>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <th align="center">Class</th>
          <th align="center">Hostname</th>
          <th align="center">Job-ID</th>
          <th align="center">Schedule</th>
          <th align="center">Status</th>
          <th align="center">Server</th>
          <th align="center">Files</th>
          <th align="center">Tries</th>
          <th align="center">Start </th>
          <th align="center">End </th>
          <th align="center">Duration</th>
          <th align="center">Mbytes</th>
          <th align="center">Speed</th>
        </tr>
EOC

  foreach $jobid ( sort @partiallysuccessful ) {
    my $thisjob = $alljobs { $jobid };
    my $MB = $thisjob->{kbytes} / 1000;

    &print_report_line($thisjob->{class},
                       $thisjob->{client},
                       $thisjob->{jobid},
                       $thisjob->{schedule},
                       $thisjob->{status},
                       $thisjob->{server},
                       $thisjob->{files},
                       $thisjob->{trycount},
                       &format_hhmmss_time($thisjob->{started}),
                       &format_hhmmss_time($thisjob->{ended}),
                       $thisjob->{elapsed},
                       #&beautify_number($thisjob->{kbytes}),
                       &round($MB),
                       ($thisjob->{elapsed} > 0 ?
                        int(($thisjob->{kbytes}/$thisjob->{elapsed})*1
+00)/100 : "0.00"));
}

    I think the data structure your looking for is: 
    %hash = ( 'class_name' => { 
               'list_of_successful_jobIDs' => [ qw(foo bar) ],
               'list_of_failed_jobIDs'     => [ qw(val1 val2) ],
                  },
);

    To print out the 2nd element of list_of_successful_jobIDs of class_name you would use the following: print $hash{class_name}{list_of_successful_jobIDs}[1]; Good luck!

      Right. But doing this from within a foreach loop is where things are getting fuzzy. The following doesn't work:
      foreach my $class (sort keys %jobsClassKey) {

my $jobid = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{jobid};
my $status = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{status};

$masterClassHash{$class}{'successfuljobs'},$jobid if ($status == 0);
$masterClassHash{$class}{'partiallysuccessful'},$jobid if ($status == 
+1);
$masterClassHash{$class}{'failedjobs'}, $jobid if (($status >  1) && (
+$status != 150)); 
#Termination requested by admin
}

print $masterClassHash{$class}{successfuljobs}[1]

      What I need to do is:

      for every class, divide jobids by fail, partially fail, and succeed.

        Do you mean something like: 
            foreach my $class (sort keys %jobsClassKey) {
        my ($jobid, $status) = @{$jobsClassKey {$class}} {'jobid', 'st
+atus'};
        my $key = $status ==   0 ? 'successfuljobs'      :
                  $status ==   1 ? 'partiallysuccessful' :
                  $status == 150 ?  next                 :
                  $status >    1 ? 'failedjobs'          :
                                    next;
        push @{$masterClassHash {$class} {$key}} => $jobid;
    }
