Yeah sorry about the vague nature of that question, I guess I was really just trying to work out how to loop through the %relayqid_hash to get at the values in the $result_tab that I put on it in the first loop (if that makes sense - it does to me in my own head! :-)

Ok, I got it figured anyway, here is what I wanted to do.

# the top loop as before, then the bottom loop looks like this

foreach my $message_key (keys %relayqid_hash)
{
  my $result_tab = $relayqid_hash{$message_key};

  my $subject = ($result_tab->{'Subject'}) ? $result_tab->{'Subject'} 
+: "[no subject]";

  insert_hash($result_tab);
}

The bit I was missing was getting at the value of $result_tab in the second loop.

I hope that makes sense, and if it doesn't... well I guess you probably don't care anyway! :-)

Cheers,

Tom
