Re: Inputing info into Nested Arrays

If you have control over the source input format, you could use XML and then XML::Parser or one of its derivations to read in the data. Or Parse::RecDescent to write your own input format, one that can be quite flexible.

You can almost certainly do it without a module. If you were to give us a brief sample of the input data and a description of the data structure that you wanted then I'm sure that someone could help you out. Alternatively, by reading `perldoc perllol` and `perldoc perldsc` you may well be able to work it our for yourself. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000, ICA, London <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]
