Hello all,

I have started to really do some wierd things lately and I was wondering if I'm developing a poor style. I realize that TIMTOWTDI so maybe what I'm really asking is... "is there a much better way?"

I have two chunks of code to show you... maybe you can give some advice.

The first is just to populate a single var... I ended up doing this:

 $header{"Number of Drills"} = &{ sub {  
                                     my $ret;
                                     foreach my $l ( @drill_arr ) {
                                         foreach ( values %{$l->tool} 
+) {
                                             $ret += $_->count;
                                         }
                                     }
                                     return $ret;
                                 } };

The next is to get the elements I want from an array of hashes:

my @layer_list   = grep { $_->{layer_type} eq "signal" || 
                          $_->{layer_type} eq "mixed"  || 
                          $_->{layer_type} eq "power_ground" } 
                   grep { $_->{context}    eq "board" } 
                   @matrix_array;

these both work but have been nagging me some so I wanted to show you all in the hopes you could set me straight if need be.

Thanks for your help

Prost,
Moe
