Re: pushing into a tie'd hash

The tied hash will only do its magic if you do an operation that calls one of the magic functions. You're not doing any kind of hash-store, you're just operating on values that are referenced. This should (IMO) work:

   foreach $val (@{$memrevmap{$key}}) {
      print "pushing into $key, $val\n";
      $revmap{$key}=[@{$revmap{$key}}, $val];
   }

Interesting, but running it appears to fail. :( I've tried a few combinations including the [] square braces, to no effect. For some reason that I'm not aware of, the tie'd hash seems to only accept a single value, and not an array. Each additional push, or assignment, seems to overwrite the previous value. Something tells me I'm bumping into a limitation of the DB_File module. :(	[reply]

From DB_File's docs: "How do I store complex data structures with DB_File? Although DB_File cannot do this directly... [suggestion for a layer on top of DB_File]." May I instead recommend DBM::Deep?	[reply]
