Re^5: Save results into one big XML file help!

how can you get the values from this big file once it gets created?

How did you intend reading your Dumpered file?

Use eval (Note: 'pp' is equivalent to 'Dumper' in the following example):

@a = ( a => { 1..10 }, b => { 'a'..'z' } );;

pp \@a;;
[
  "a",
  { 1 => 2, 3 => 4, 5 => 6, 7 => 8, 9 => 10 },
  "b",
  {
    a   => "b",
    c   => "d",
    e   => "f",
    g   => "h",
    i   => "j",
    k   => "l",
    "m" => "n",
    o   => "p",
    "q" => "r",
    "s" => "t",
    u   => "v",
    w   => "x",
    "y" => "z",
  },
]

open RAM, '>', \$file;;
print RAM pp \@a;;

open RAM, '<', \$file;;
@b = @{ eval do{ local $/; <RAM> } };;

pp \@b;;
[
  "a",
  { 1 => 2, 3 => 4, 5 => 6, 7 => 8, 9 => 10 },
  "b",
  {
    a   => "b",
    c   => "d",
    e   => "f",
    g   => "h",
    i   => "j",
    k   => "l",
    "m" => "n",
    o   => "p",
    "q" => "r",
    "s" => "t",
    u   => "v",
    w   => "x",
    "y" => "z",
  },
]

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

Sorry, 34 is on my test code but the error is from this line: `@b = @{ eval do{ local $/; <RAM> } };;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
