in reply to Predefined hash keys

The answer depends on what format the keys are in right now. Serialized using Data::Dumper? Printed to a flat file in 'name:value' pairs? Something else?

    No, it's even simpler than that -- I have a sub in a module, and it does stuff like: -- $h{$other_key}{"ymin"} = yada $h{$other_key}{"ymax"} = big_yada -- So, I know the only 2 secondary keys I'll ever need are "ymin" and "ymax" thanks, jw
