Re: Re: What type are you? Mr Hash, Sir Array, or Miss Scalar?

defined() bla,bla,bla? yeah, right!
Just a silly joke. Never seriously thought about that (harhar)
But i've tried the ref, and it works just fine...problem solved

ref is correct, however you can do it yourself if you want to .. (don't know why you would) you can `my %test = ('test1'=>'value', 'test2'=>'value'); my $hash_ref = \%test; print "hash ref" if($hash_ref =~ m{HASH});` [download] I used that once(before I knew about ref). I don't know if that's horribly bad practice or not, but it works. So basically you could go to the trouble (again I don't know why you would want to) of setting up your own ref via a case statement of regex's Grygonos	[reply] [d/l]
