Hello Monks,
SOLVED
I want to get the keys from an Array of Hashes and put them into an array ref for using as column names with Text::CSV. All of the keys will be the same so I just need the one hash's set of them. I even know how many there will be- but I want to know if there is a better way than this:
use strict; use warnings; use Text::CSV; my $csv = Text::CSV->new( { binary => 1, eol => "\n" } ); my $file = "records.csv"; open( my $csv_fh, '>', $file ) or die "Unable to open $file for writin +g: $!\n"; my $AoH_records = [ { foo => 'bar', key => 'value', }, ]; my $columns = []; for my $key ( keys @{$AoH_records}[0] ) { push @{$columns}, $key; last if scalar(@{$columns}) == 10; } $csv->column_names( $columns );

Any insight is greatly appreciated :)
