I have search results sorted by number of hits which gives me ids and I can get associated data from records file. Code
#Search Results foreach (1..40){ my $hit = int rand(30); my $id = int rand(1000); push @results, "$hit:$id"; } @search_results = sort { $b <=> $a } @results; #Records my $Record; foreach (0..999){ my $data = int rand(100); # push @ids, "$_:$data"; $Record->{$_} = $data; } #Display foreach (@results){ my($hit,$id) = split /:/; my $data = $Record->{$id}; print "$hit $id $data\n"; }
I am looking for a way, so that I don't have to use hash "Record". Random values are just for the demonstration purpose. Actual values contain many fields in records.

(Note:Feel free to update the title). Thanks.!
