Re: XML::Simple and variable interpolation

You almost have it, look at the Dumper output closer, there is another level to your HoHs.

print $config->{'profile'}{$desired_config}{database_type};

HTH

P.S. Your first test should have worked. I cut and pasted it and it worked for me:

print $config->{profile}->{$desired_config}->{database_type};
print "\nTest1\n";

No freakin way...! I saved the posted code and data into seperate files, ran them, and they worked. What a bunch of crap. So, I renamed the old files, moved the new files into the same place, and they ran. Comparing the original with the new, I see no code differences. At all. Line by line, char by char, nothing different. (Not counting comment lines...) So, thank you, pzbagel. I appreciate the input... amonotod	[reply]

Are you by any chance working between a Windows box and a *nix machine? Perhaps you have some nasty \r characters in your original script or XML file. Those tend to cause weirdness especially with parsing and regexes. Try: `cat -vET <file>` [download] The \r will show up as ^M at the end of lines before the $ characters(those command-line options cause cat to mark the end of each line with a $). HTH	[reply] [d/l]

Actually, I have the oh-so-distinct pleasure of being on Windows only right now... :-( And, although I have run into that before and it isn't the case here, thank you! amonotod BTW, I have a page of scripts that I wrote a while back here: http://www.geocities.com/amonotod	[reply]
