Thanks. That last bit of help was what I needed. I do have warnings and strict turned on btw. Never leave home without it.

This syntax was a little tricky, but I now see how to build and retrieve HoH's. Thanks so much.

For the sake of completeness, I'll post my final snippet of code here just incase someone else needs similar help.

$i = 0;

while (@rray = $sth -> fetchrow_array) {
    $record = "record_$i";
    $hash{$record} = {uid => $rray[0], fname => $rray[1], lname => $rr
+ay[2]};
    #print $hash{$record} -> {uid}, qq/ /, $hash{$record} -> {fname}, 
+qq/ /, $hash{$record} -> {lname}, qq/\n/;
    $i += 1;
}

my ($key, $value);

for ($i = 0; $i < 325; $i++) {
    $record = "record_$i";
    $key = keys %hash;
    $value = $hash{$record} -> {fname};
    print "key = record_$key, hash values = ", $hash{$record} -> {uid}
+, ", ", $hash{$record} -> {fname}, ", ", $hash{$record} -> {lname}, "
+\n";
}

Now its time to take this HoH to TT2 and see if I can get my template to render it in the browser.

BTW, I stumbled across an interesting Perl Module while working on this. See CG::Expand (it was new for me).

Cheers

Sorry, I should've cleaned up that last block of code a bit before pasting it. Here is the edited version:

# get number of records in %hash
my $href = \%hash;
my $records = scalar keys %$href;

# print data from all records
for ($i = 0; $i < $records; $i++) {
    $record = "record_$i";
    print "key = $record, hash values = ", $hash{$record} -> {uid}, ",
+ ", $hash{$record} -> {fname}, ", ", $hash{$record} -> {lname}, "\n";
}
