Re: class object and hash

Since your hash values are scalars, you want to store a reference to the hash:

sub compileserverhash
{
   my %hash;

# ....

   return \%hash;
}

I've modified my return code to do the above however when I make the call to: `my %hashlist = $self->{SERVERLOCATION}` [download] The contents of %hashlist are a scalar with with value: HASH(ox2023244) am I supposed to assign it in a different way such as: my %hashlist = %{$self->{SERVERLOCATION}}	[reply] [d/l]

arghh.. my goof!! `%{$self->{SERVERHASHLIST}}=compileserverhash(); %{$self->{SERVERLOCATION}}=compileserverloc();` [download] Guess I was running low on coffee did the above before posting. as soon as I removed the %{}'s it came in fine with the referencing on the calling subroutine. `$self->{SERVERHASHLIST}=compileserverhash(); $self->{SERVERLOCATION}=compileserverloc();` [download] Thanks all	[reply] [d/l] [select]
