Hi all,

I need you'r help for a specific issue.

My problem :

I need to access to an attribute path into an object. Here a typical example :

my $objectWhenceFindPath;
$objectWhenceFindPath->{here}->{an}->{hypothetical}->{path} = "some va
+lue";

my @path = ("an", "hypothetical", "path");

my $currentPath = $objectWhenceFindPath->{here};
for my $index (0 .. ($#path - 1)) {
    $currentPath = $currentPath->{$path[$index]};
    # Some logic, or not. Depend of script.
}
$currentPath ++;

At this time, I have not find any solutions to do this. Note as functional, the $objectWhenceFindPath is retrieved from an object subroutine.

Tested solution :

• I can use a recursive subroutine to hydrate the complete path but several scripts needs specific logic into this loop and i'll need to create a subroutine for each one.
• I've tried to work with the reference but the compilation fail, caused by type error ( but logically working at runtime ).

Many thanks to anyone able to purpose a solution.
