Hi Monks

Me again ;-) Again thanks to all for their help on my syslog project I think I am now self sustaining and have a better understanding of Hashes etc. I do have one interesting bug probably a simple explanation for the guru's:

I have a simple hash but the last element will not print out unless I put "{why} on the end of it. If I don't put it on or take the "keys" of the last loop the print out just gives me back the hash ref =  A B HASH(0x22501c) . Can some one please tell me how to do this properly as I don't think code with bugs is safe code and I might end up with bug ridden results - here is my example:

#c:\perl\bin\perl

my %line;
$why = "";
$a = A;
$b = B;
$c = C;

$line{$a}{$b}{$c};

$i = 1;

for $a (keys %line) {
for $b (keys %{$line{$a}}) {
for $c (keys %{$line{$a}{$b}}) {

print "$a $b $c\n";

}
}
}

Thanks very much
