Re: Dereferencing within Hash Assignment

Your declaration/assignment is wonky too:

use Spreadsheet::Read;
my %pointData{D.xls} = ReadData(fileD.xls)
[download]

Should be more like-

use warnings;
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::Read;

my %pointData;
$pointData{"D.xls"} = ReadData("fileD.xls"); # Updated, added quotes.
[download]

It should be and is in my program. I was attempting to be concise to save people the reading time (clearly a mistake on my part). But the declarations in my program are exactly how you wrote them. As for the `#Updated, added quotes.`, my program is actually using variables in those places. I have printed each variable to ensure that it truly holds "D.xls" and "fileD.xls".	[reply] [d/l]
