Re^2: Arrays and Hashes woes

Many thanks, using references solved the problem. I note that using:

 %tmpF->{ID}
[download]

and

 $tmpD{ID}
[download]

seems to make no difference, both work. What are your reasons for suggesting the bottom way over the top way? I am not trying to say you are wrong! far from it, I just want to know why you would do it that way :) TienLung

The former syntax is deprecated (and rather unusual): `$ perl -w -e "%tmpF->{ID} = 'foo'" Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
