1. You shouldn't use Switch.pm, it has subtle bugs.
  2. What's the switch for here anway, all you're doing is execute one "case" after the other, there's no fall-through or anything that requires this execution out of a standard for-loop.
  3. Running this codes gives the following output:
0  --HASH(0x82bfd04) Data_Directories_fetch
1  --HASH(0x828b9a8) Data_Directories_erase
2  --HASH(0x82bbf40) Program_fetch
3  --HASH(0x82bfcbc) Program_erase
4  --HASH(0x82bbec8) Configuration_and_Table_Files_erase
5  --HASH(0x815b734) Configuration_and_Table_Files_fetch
6  --HASH(0x82bbee0) Create_Database
7  --HASH(0x82bbe38) Load_Database
HASH(0x82bbf40)
Result: HASH(0x82bbf40)

Loading some values into the Program_fetch hash first gives:

0  --HASH(0x82bc21c) Data_Directories_fetch
1  --HASH(0x82bfd00) Data_Directories_erase
2  --HASH(0x8160c8c) Program_fetch
3  --HASH(0x82bc0f0) Program_erase
4  --HASH(0x82bfce8) Configuration_and_Table_Files_erase
5  --HASH(0x815b728) Configuration_and_Table_Files_fetch
6  --HASH(0x82bc12c) Create_Database
7  --HASH(0x82bfd84) Load_Database
HASH(0x8160c8c)
1 => 2
3 => 4
Result: HASH(0x8160c8c)
1 => 2
3 => 4

Which is exactly what I'd expect. What are you expecting to see?


There are ten types of people: those that understand binary and those that don't.
