Re: Defining a hash key for later use

The following seems to work for me. I'm storing a reference in the page hash rather than a value. When $toolbar->{'standard'} is later populated, the value will change and the reference that is stored in the page hash will point to the new value.

$page->{'page_key'}{'toolbar'} = \$toolbarRef->{'standard'};
$toolbar->{'standard'} = 7;
print ${$page->{'page_key'}{'toolbar'}}; #prints 7

That appears to work. I had a hole elsewhere. sigh I should have done a small test case rather than working in my main program. Thanks.	[reply]
