Re^2: Using grep to remove array element from HoAoH leaving empty array-hash element

I think you're on to something with 2 and 3. Take a look at my reply and you'll see the Data::Dumper results. I'm getting an empty hash after the grep which appears to be appended to the end of the array. I think that is where grep is throwing the error, but I'm stumped on how to rectify that.

Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.

It's not the 'after' that's important. The warning is your grep condition telling you the data is wrong (i.e. different than expected) before grep is called. Data::Dumper shows us this bad data: the extra "{}" at the end of the list in the 'before' dump. What you must do now is figure out how that extra (fieldless) record is being added to your 'database'.	[reply]
