Re: Assignment of Arrays of Hashes

I read your code and think that you mean something like

$content{$selector[1]} = \@inline;

When you use %hash you say eg$hash{'key'} = "Something". When you use an array eg @array you use eg $array[1] = "Something".

In case you don't know putting the following at the top of your scripts turns on useful warnings that help you catch problems quickly.

use strict;
use warnings;

Update: OK, OK! I had not seen anywhere that you could do @hash{'key1', 'key2', 'key3'} = ('value1', 'value2', 'value3'); I am sorry! See Aristotle reply for explanation --blm--

No, he is using the hash correctly. You can assign to multiple hash keys at once by saying `@hash{'key1', 'key2', 'key3'} = ('value1', 'value2', 'value3');`. This is known as a "slice", and that's what he's doing. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
