Re^3: deleting elements in nested hash structure

last; # <<<< Added 'last' to avoid deleting $first multiple times

It doesn't change the result, but yes, it is a more optimal implementation. I wouldn't code it that way though.

Whilst if( noOverlap ) { do nothing } else { push @todelete }

is functionally equivalent to push @toDelete unless noOverlap;

I find the latter easier on both the eye and the brain.

Hence, I#ll modify the above this way:

        push( @toDelete, $first ), last
            unless $tss{ $ids[ $first ] }{ start } > $tss{ $ids[ $seco
+nd ] }{ stop  }
            or     $tss{ $ids[ $first ] }{ stop  } < $tss{ $ids[ $seco
+nd ] }{ start };

The start of some sanity?

You are still missing the first correction - instead of using $first directly, you need to use $ids[$first]. Either `push( @toDelete, $ids[$first]), last` [download] or `delete @tss{ @ids[@toDelete] };` [download] I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. -SNL	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You are right! I was completely oblivious to that error and I will correct it. Thank you.
