in thread how to build directory

Didn't you mean:

my %tree_Hash = ( 1=> { 2 => { 4=> { 6 => undef, 7 => undef, }, }, 3 => { 5 => undef, }, } 8=> { 9 => undef, }, );

This can be build programatically from the existing hash.

But I'm not sure what exactly the OP wants.


s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%
+.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e

    Yes i meant this only :). I have been trying to do this for quite sometime but no success. Can you give me some hints on how to do this?
      Based on Skeeve's hash of hash structure:
      for my $path (keys %tree_Hash) { # mkdir $path my $sub = $tree_Hash{$path}; if (defined $sub and ref $sub) { for my $spath (%$sub) { # mkdir $sub/$spath my $subsubpath = $sub->{$spath}; .... and so on } } }
      The code above is a cumbersome, and become more tedious as you have more complex structure, but since you asked for hint :-) And here's another hint, if you feel a bit brave you can implement it with recursive subroutine. The last hint, the one I recommend the most, is to transform %tree_Hash into some array of directories and ask File::Path to create the directory structure for you.

      Now, please do your part a little bit. Feel free to comeback and ask again if you find some problem. Good luck, megaurav2002.
