in reply to Hash of a nArray and all that comes with it.

Ok. You wanna hear something REALLY stoopid?
No. Really.
In my life as a programmer, the wrench that I consistently thrown in my own work is phenomenal.
Ok. Here it is:
I've been trying to get a scalar from $#{entry{$key}}
The problem is, that's not the same as $#{$entry{$key}}
I am such a Rookie!
Thanks for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pair of eyes folks.
Happy programming!
