I am a real noob at perl, though I know some other languages so I am not completely lost. Or well, now I am. I have an hash-array filled with about 500 entries. I am looping through them and removing some dupes like this:
for ($i=0; $i<=$#players; $i++) { my %player = %{$players[$i]}; for ($ii=0;$ii<=$#players;$ii++) { if ($i != $ii) { my %player2 = %{$players[$ii]}; if ($player{name} eq $player2{name}) { $player{deaths} += $player2{deaths}; $player{kills} += $player2{kills}; #Remove the dupe entry splice(@players, $ii, 1); } } } }
But when I am printing those new values later on in a loop, like this:
my %player = %{$players[$i]}; print "$player{kills}";
They print the old value. How do I save the values I changed them to before?
