Re^2: Print name of array

This prints the index number, and then the contents of the array.I was hoping to get the actual name.

my @AoA = ( \@AdhLnk, \@MtrLnk, \@SltLnk, \@OthLnk, \@AdhDlk, \@MtrDlk
+, \@SltDlk
, \@OthDlk );

print "Output loop\n";

for my $index (0 .. $#AoA) {
    print "$index\t@{ $AoA[$index] }\n";
}
foreach (@AoA) {
  print @{$_} . "_____________________________________________________
+________
__\n";
}

Then it should have been a HoA: `my %HoA = ( AdhLnk => \@AdhLnk, MtrLnk => \@MtrLnk, SltLnk => \@SltLnk +, OthLnk => \@OthLnk, AdhDlk => \@AdhDlk, MtrDlk => \@MtrDlk, SltDlk => \@SltDlk, OthDlk + => \@OthDlk ); print "Output loop\n"; for my $name (keys %HoA) { print "$name\t@{ $HoA{$name} }\n"; }` [download] And most probably there should not have been all those arrays in the first place.

And what would you return for this? `@AoA = ([qw/Mercury Venus Earth Mars/], [qw/1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21/]);` [download] From where should Perl know it's `planets` and `fibonacci`? Update: Also consider `@x = (1, 2, 3); y = x; my @AoA = (\@x, \@y);` [download] Is it @x or @y?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

A reference by itself does not know what variables points to the same data. This is because the array your reference points to does not have to be accessible through a normal array variable. There could also be multiple variables pointing to the same Data. The reference only knows, what type of data it points to and where that data is. If you need labels for those lists, you might want to use a Hash of Arrays.	[reply]
