RE: RE: Re: Case insensitivity in a hash... Futile effort?

Tie::CaseInsensitive can be gotten here: Re: case sensitivity in hashes.

Just copy and paste it into your editor, save it, then put it somewhere in your @INC as Tie/CaseInsensitive.pm.

And w/ a multi-dimensional hash, you need to tie each level of the hash. Does that make sense? So you tie the hash %HASH, then you tie $HASH{level1}, and so on down.

I hate sounding ignorant, but once I know what I'm doing I promise to answer questions rather than just ask them. How do I add something to @INC. All my books are at work and I'm trying to get this done. Your humble servant, -Chuck	[reply]

There are several ways. But here's the easiest: `use lib '/foo/bar';` [download] Adds the path '/foo/bar' to your @INC so it'll be searched. So, for your purposes, if you had installed Tie::CaseInsensitive (or Tie::RecursiveCI, japhy's code, which you should use because then you don't have to retie each level) in '/home/foo/bar/Tie/RecursiveCI.pm', you'd put `use lib '/home/foo/bar';` [download] at the top of your code.

Thanks a lot, It makes sense, but I don't think I'd have figured it out :-) -Chuck	[reply]
