Re^3: Confused: Hashrefs in TieRegistry

whahey - the code works, a big list of associations and extenstions scrolls by, albiet puntuated with complaints about being unable to recognise association list and use of unitialised values or string in concatenation...

"unable to recognise association list" is not an error. I'd remove the line that outputs that, but I didn't know if you were planning on focusing on a specific extention later on.

The uninitalized value is because you ran it without strict, and because I accidently used used $class where I should have $ext. (Copy and paste error.)

on another note I now just need to mod this so that it can accept some arguments and ergo change associations - I'm trying to make a setup that will automatically change the default browser on an ME system

Why are you looping if you are looking for a specific extention?

Why are you looping if you're looking for a specific extension ah my wise freind, if I couldn't do this then what were my hopes of creating a tool that could be used in general situations, which is my ultimate aim, also my set task of recreating the 2000+ utils wouldn't be nearly as fun if the utils only did a select bit of what the "genuine windows" tools perfomed - my sub-task of setting the default browser was really just bait to the chase. bearing in mind that i'm not actually working towards a deadline etc, i'm just challenging myself, i've only been doing interesting things with perl for about a week, not including some basic examples from the llama book over the last month or so, i'm just looking for something to do. and yes the "unable to recognise associations" isn't an error, but it all depends on what you want to achieve and in the end what matters is that those involved understand, don'tcha think? which is fine because I think i get it now	[reply]
