in reply to Using Tree::Simple with while loop and input file.

You've been asking similar questions repeatedly*. Please figure out what you really want and tell us what's the problem with our solutions rather than ignoring them and starting from scratch in new threads.

* — They are found in threads Creating a tree from a parent child list, that also includes node specific properties..., how to construct tree from parent pointer list and Using Tree::Simple with while loop and input file., and the OP was pointed to an answer in Generating a Hash of Hashes Recursively to Display Database Hierarchy.

    And what, exactly, do you see as the problem? OP clearly states that he is in a learning exercise (or are the words "I've been trying to understand all the various examples you have already sent me." somehow unclear to you). This kind of exploration, testing, and asking more questions should be encouraged, in my opinion. Starting a new thread may be less than optimal, but who cares (besides you, that is)?

    Chill (please). If you do not see an opportunity here to grovel for XP, you can always move on to another thread and try that one.

      Ignoring all past answers leads to new questions going unanswered. The problem is that I don't think he wants that to happen.

      You are mistaken and putting words in my mouth. I don't care about the starting of new threads.

      Chill (please).

      What makes you think I'm not?

      If you do not see an opportunity here to grovel for XP

      A few more and I'll be able to buy a trip with them!

        Ignoring all past answers leads to new questions going unanswered.

        Please examine that sentence carefully, and pay special attention to the second word. Now consider that OP (at least by his statement) is trying things based on the earlier suggestions. That hardly constitutes ignoring all past answers. Quite the contrary, I think.

        If your goal is really so noble, it would help if you spent a little more time explaining to the OP what your concern is.

        You are mistaken and putting words in my mouth. I don't care about the starting of new threads.

        Your words:

        ...rather than ignoring them and starting from scratch in new threads.

        Seems clear to me.

        What makes you think I'm not?

        Maybe you are (chilled, that is). But the tone of your reply leaves a different impression. Consider your (inappropriate/erroneous) use of all noted above. Add to that the (inappropriate/erroneous) accusation about putting words in your mouth. Finally, the am-so-am-not tone of "What makes you think I'm not?" is a strong indication to the contrary.

        A few more ...

        XP is just a number. Just because your XP number is bigger than most, doesn't mean that the rest of you is bigger than most.

        I admire the apparent depth of your Perl knowledge. Please take a little more time with some of your nodes to explain motivation, especially when you are replying to a less experienced monk. Take a higher road. Be more like tilly and less like ...
