Data structure is a double hash of array, followed by another hash.
I was just building a data structure to house record details of a file with many formats. I want these information readily accessable and be ready to 'unpack' when ready. The data is binary.
The first hash is for naming record format.
Second hash is for various record properties.
Third Array is for list of fields.
Fourth hash is for various field properties.
How do I get to the end of last hash in one breath?
As shown in result, I couldn't figure out the syntax to do it.
Snippet:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my (@tempd, %tempa); push @tempd, (nm=>'abc', sz=>'def'); $tempa{'a'}{'zeta'}=[@tempd]; print "array: ", join " ", @tempd, "\n"; my $tmp = $tempa{'a'}{'zeta'}; print "hash: ", $tempa{'a'}{'zeta'}, "\n"; print "hash: ", $$tmp[0], " ", $$tmp[1], "\n"; Result: array: nm abc sz def hash: ARRAY(0x40039370) hash: nm abc
