Re: Can't use string ("blah") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at..

Given that @database_urls gets populated with:

my $url = $row[0];
push (@database_urls, $url);
[download]

That is, it's an array of strings, Perl is telling you that:

my $host = $databases[$i][0];

... $databases[$i] contains a string, not an array reference. You're going to have to get the host and database some other way.

Ended up using a foreach loop and modified the subroutine a bit and the script as a whole. Looks to be working. Thank you so much for your help and that link looks very interesting. Looking forward to reading that. Thank you again! I might try that data dumper idea as well, not familiar with that but always looking for new ways to do a task.	[reply]

I'm getting this error and I've tried for hours to get past it but having no luck When your program is small it is easy to debug with print, if your program becomes big you have to look for debuggers, see perldebtut and Devel::SDB, it is the time to debug your code yourself. see here http://s9.video.blip.tv/1340001748348/Kraman-DevelsdbSmartDebugger804.swf for a webcast Vivek -- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act.
