Sure enough: I have values set then it tries to place the nested hash in the same level.
Here is some logs of the last set of arrays sent to the sub:
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 16
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 18
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15 14
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 18 17
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 18 19
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15 14 13
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15 14 13 12
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15 14 13 12 11
02-28-2001 15:18:46 |69 15 14 13 12 11 10
$hash{69}{15}
$hash{69}{18}
Are set first, so all the others are ignored. When really, the least important are the first ({69}{15} & {69}{18}) with the last in the set being critical:
$hash{69}{15}{14}{13}{12}{11}{10}
$hash{69}{18}{17}
$hash{69}{18}{19}
$hash{69}{16}
What the script is doing is going through some DB entries and trying to draw a tree from the info it finds. $hash{69}{15}{14}{13}{12}{11}{10} represents a whole leg. My ultimate goal is to draw out the pyramid. I figure that if I could load all the values into the hash, I could just do a recursive iteration of the hash to print out the tree. But since $hash{69}{15} = 1 is set first, the rest of the program errors.
