Hi there Monks!
I am trying to open a file(YAML) and it is giving an Software Error "Not a HASH reference at", what am I doing wrong here?
... open my $fh, '<', 'data.txt' or die "can't open config file: $!"; my @config = YAML::LoadFile($fh); #print Dumper(@config); for my $record (@config) { my $cities = "$record->{'xml_api_reply'}{'weather'}{'forecast_inf +ormation'}{'city'}->{'-data'}"; my $currwind ="$record->{xml_api_reply}->{weather}->{current_cond +itions}->{wind_condition}->{'-data'}" || ''; #for my $subrecord (@{$record->{Field2}}) { #print "\t$subrecord->{Key} = $subrecord->{Val}\n"; #} print "**$cities*$currwind*\n"; }
Thanks for looking!
