Re^3: How to get an acceptable H::T AoH ref

You're misusing Data::Dumper, which is what's confusing you. D::D takes a list of references to data structures you want to dump out. That's why you're seeing the $VAR1, $VAR2, etc. If you're trying to print out just one thing, you should only see $VAR1. Try the following with my code.

print Dumper( $allshows );

You'll get something along the lines of:

$VAR1 = [{
          'title' => 'All Bets Are Off',
          'type' => '2',
          'number' => '215',
          'id' => '1'
         },
         {
          'title' => 'Who Is My Neighbor',
          'type' => '2',
          'number' => '217',
          'id' => '2'
         }
        ];

which is what you want to pass to H::T - an AoH.

The reason why your last try isn't working is because you're doing string concatenation. The result of assigning an array reference to a string is the ARRAY(0x83db738) crap, which is the type and the memory address of the reference. That isn't what you're looking for, I suspect.

Okay, you are right dragonchild. Thanks for your solution—I would have never figured it out on my own. However, nothing worked until I added a slash* in front of @$, so: `params(showlist => \@$allshows);` thanks to the HTML::Template mail serve —Brad "Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up."* G.

Don't do that! You're taking a reference of an array that only exists because you dereferenced a reference to an array. In other words, try `param( showlist => $allshows );` before you do that hokey crap from the H::T mail server. Gods!
