I think I recognise this from a question I replied to yesterday xml without cpan to get idea of this it was placed in a loop so you would end up with a data structure like this
@jobs = ({'job1'='17:30'},{'job2'='17:31'}); #to access this data which is, I expect, what you need to know, you w +ould do something like this foreach $job(@jobs){ foreach $key (keys(%$job)){ print "$key = ".$key->{$key}."\n"; } }
The reason I used this data structure in my orginal (very low dirty program) was to make sure that the hashes of data came out in the same order every time without using SAX filters on the XML the hashes where read from.
UpdatedQouted the keys and values in the hashessorry!
