Re^2: Looping over multiple queries

OK, JavaFan, I think you're suggestion works and I *think* I understand it (mostly). Now, my problem is I'm still to much of a noob at handling hash references to know the syntax for extracting the data out of %orgs.

I could keep plowing through Man Perl and surfing Google ... or you could tell me ;^)

Thanks again for the tip

Oops. I spoke too soon. I think I got it: `while (($k, $v)=each (%orgs)){ while (@k = $v->fetchrow_array()) { print "\t$k[0]\n"; } }` [download] Unless there's a simpler way? Thanks again for the tip :^)	[reply] [d/l]

Now, my problem is I'm still to much of a noob at handling hash references That's not a problem. However, what is a problem is that you fail to realize my code snippet doesn't use a hash reference at all. There's a hash - not a reference to a hash. Perhaps you want to read an introduction book about Perl first?	[reply]

Hmmm... Yep, read that a while back. Which is not the same as saying I completely understood all of the important bits. Besides, I'm more of a trial & error, build it first, understand it later, kind of a guy. Irritating? Maybe. Inefficient? Probably. But it's the way I'm wired, and I'm way too old to change now. Thanks for the tip, tho' :-)	[reply]
