Thank you everyone for your replys - they were very helpfull, its partially solved the mystery, but not completely!!!
Here's a little more detailed explanation:
I need to read a file (line by line of course).
Line looks like that "subject^email^timestamp"
After file is read I need to do Insertion into database. Now, subjects could be the same and I decided to create this datastructure:
%subjects{$subject}{%hash => email, timestamp} (hope it's clear so far)
%subjects is hash, which has "subject" as a key
$subject is array, which holds hashes or emails and times
So, I created this code:
my %subjects;
foreach my $subm(@subm){
($subject, $email, $time) = split(/^/, $subm);
my %info;
$info{email} = $email;
$info{time} = $time;
if(! exists $subjects{$subject}){
print "Key DOES NOT exist\n";
$subjects{$subject} = [];
}else{
print "KEY DO EXIST\n";
}
push @{$subjects{$subject}}, %info;
}
I have this code to check that everything is correct:
foreach my $key (sort (keys %subjects)){
print "\n\nKEY = $key";
my @ar = @{subjects{$key}};
my $size = @ar;
print "\nSize of Array = $size";
}
Unfortunately, Size gives me size =1 , which is not true.
Please tell me if I am doing something wrong....
Thank you very much!!!
