Perl uses a little magic to combine arrays, but the more complex reference to an AoH requires a bit more magic

ARRAYS: 

my @aoh1 = qw (value1 value2);
my @aoh2 = qw (value3 value4);

@aoh2 = (@aoh1, @aoh2);

output: 

@aoh2 = ('value1',
         'value2',
         'value3',
         'value4'
        );

AoH's: 

@aoh1 = ({ 'key1' => 'value1', 
           'key2' => 'value2' });
@aoh2 = ({ 'key3' => 'value3',
           'key4' => 'value4' });

@aoh2 = (@aoh1, @aoh2);

[download]

output: 

@aoh2 = (
          {
            'key2' => 'value2',
            'key1' => 'value1'
          },
          {
            'key4' => 'value4',
            'key3' => 'value3'
          }
        );

In reply to How do I combine arrays and array of hashes? by bradcathey

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
