Re^3: Dynamically named hashes (w or w/o strict)

One thing is for sure, until you explain to us why you are "trying to create a set of dynamically named hashes, with an array of references pointing to them" we will probably miss your point. :)

Is there some reason why an anonymous hash won't do exactly what you need without having to have an additional array? After all, you can always create a dynamic list of the hashes keys and values whenever you want.

jeffa

L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L--
-R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR
B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B--
H---H---H---H---H---H---

lol, the reason for me using "no strict" was due to a fundamental lack of understanding :-) Kennethk's post below has cleared it up a bit for me (see comment). my $hash_ref = {one => "number"}; my $i = 0; $hash_ref->{"a"} = "letter"; push @array, $hash_ref; $hash_ref = {}; #This "resets" or creates a new reference? %{$hash_ref} = (banana => "fruit", carrot => "vegetable"); push @array, $hash_ref; I thought if you used the same name then it would alter the same hash. So to narrow down my understanding gap... anonymous hashes. If I am still fundamentally wrong here then please let me know :-) Cheers!	[reply]

$hash_ref = {}; #This "resets" or creates a new reference? The latter. Any time you write `$variable = {}` or `$variable = { foo => "bar" }`, etc, Perl creates a new anonymous hash.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
