A little bit of help with hashes... (once again :) )

liri has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've got a hash which is %Login, it contains something
like the following pairs:

URL=http://123.456.789.0
username=admin
password=12345

On the other hand, there is the following structure:

$fields = {
             "username" => "admin",
             "password" => "12345" };
[download]

And now to the point - how do I take the hash, loop through
it and disregard only the URL entry in the hash.

Thanks.

Faster and shorter: `my $fields = { %Login }; delete $fields->{URL};` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

TIMTOWTDI... `my $fields; @$fields{qw( username password )} = @Login{qw( username password )};` [download] Are you sure that you actually need to get rid of the extra key/value pair, though? -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l]

I think you want to generate the hashref from the %Login hash. `for my $key (keys %Login) { next if $key eq 'URL'; $fields->{$key'} = $Login{$key}; }` [download] Ta-da! -- Kirby, WhitePages.com	[reply] [d/l]
