Hi Monks, My Hash of Hases isn't filling up. When I look at hte size of it it's only 1 (1 key) and if I print out the entire hash only the last line of the file being read in is present. The file/data is solid - and sadly I can't share what's in the file but I've used it else where /w similiar scripts w/o issue. Here's the code that's building the hash of hashes.

while (my $line=<FILE>) { chomp($line); my ($IacIsbn, $Title, $EPI, $BundleCode) = split("\t",$line); %IACISBN_ENUM = ( $IacIsbn => { 'Title' => $Title, 'EPI' => $EPI, 'Bundle' => $BundleCode } ); } close FILE;


Any ideas? If I put in a print statement all the lines are being read into the values correctly and I can print them using the hash IE $IACISBN_ENUM{$isbn}{Title} prints out the title - if I'm in the above while loop ($isbn would be a key). Out side the while loop above though only the last element is showing up - IE it's like Im overwritting the values each time instead of adding.
