Hello monks,
I have a question, concerning something i dont have any prior knowledge with, and since i am at home, not at my dorm, no access to my books :(. Here is my question, i am making a hash, in this hash has 5 keys, ill show you below:
    %rec = (state => $part1[0],
        char => $part1[1],
        stack_char => $part1[2],
        new_state => $part2[0],
        new_stack_char => $part2[1]);
    push (@db, %rec);

this is in a loop, which defines every line in a file. Each line has a state, a char, a stack_char,.. you get the idea, and then this hash is pushed into an array. this is how i am trying to call it, but with no luck, using -w i get the following error:

" Odd number of elements in hash list at p2.pl line 68, <> chunk 8 "

Here is the code:
foreach $hash(@db){
    %temphash = $hash;
    
    foreach $key( keys %temphash){
        print "KEY: $key \n";
        print "VALUE: $temphash{$key} \n";
        print "________________________\n";
    } #end foreach $key
}#end foreach $hash

i assume this isnt really the way to define the hash per value in the array, but.. how can i do this??

Thank you very much in advance
