I am not sure what I need nor how to do it (even after reading through the past discussions). It's all very confusing to me. Let me explain my scenario:

I want to parse through my downloaded bank file (a CSV file and I already figured out how to parse it correctly). I have figured out how to read through each line and separate the debits and credits into various variables such as:

Payments (to me):
Shopify
Etsy
PayPal
Misc
And the same with debits: Supplies
Shipping
Ads
Online

The issue that I am running into is that I need to split all of this off on an per month basis. My logical mind is telling me to use an @array where $array1 is January, $array2 is February, etc... for each month. (Yes, I am skipping $array[0], just to keep it simple) I could add a hash to the array to corraliate for the month using the key names above. I want to add those values on a dymanic basis as I reiterate through the CSV file. Hopefully, I explained that correctly.

My issue is that I do not know how to reference, for example, the Paypal payment to me for, say, March. and add these totals on an ongoing basis? For example

CSV LINES:

Debit,03/06/2024,Paypal paymemnt, 25.25,debit_card
Debit,03/09/2024,Paypal paymemnt, 10.13,debit_card
Debit,03/15/2024,Etsy paymemnt, 52.23,debit_card
Debit,03/22/2024,Paypal paymemnt, 16.52,debit_card

#/usr/bin/perl
#
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV;


my @chaseArray;
my $chaseCSV = Text::CSV->new ({ binary => 1 });
open my $inFile, '<', "chase.csv" or die $!;

my @chaseList;
my ($cCosts, $cShip, $cGrovery, $cSocial, $cMonthly, $cMisc, $cShopify
+, $cEtsy, $cPaypal, $cVenmo, $csMisc, $cTotal) = 0;
while (my $row = $chaseCSV->getline ($inFile))
{

        @chaseList = @$row;
        my $month = substr ($chaseList[1], 0, );

    if ( $chaseList[2] =~ /.*Shopify.*/ )
        {
            my $temp = $chaseList[3] + %@chaseArray[$month]{Shopify};
            #          @%chaseArray[$month]{Shopify} += $chaseList[3];
            %@chaseArray[$month]{Shopify} = $temp;
        }

}

print Dumper \@chaseArray;

I keep getting these errors and I am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.


Note:
Once I get the shopify payments adding correctly, I'll put some elsif statements in there for the rest of the items on my list.
