Hi Monks!

I am trying to check is a value is not empty, in this case value in the 'Name" key, in one of the elements of this array and if it is, take the value of "Name" from another array where the ID matches and add that value to the empty one.
Here is a sample of the data:
... my @test = (); foreach my $data ( @{ $test_data } ) { warn Dumper $row_data; push @test, [ $data->{ ID }, $data->{ Name }, $data->{ Number }, $data->{ CODE }, ] if $data->{ Name } = ''; } ...


The data dump result:

$VAR1 = { 'ID' => '1212', 'Name' => 'JOE', 'Number' => 'XY1', 'CODE' => '6', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '1212', 'Name' => '', 'Number' => 'XY1', 'CODE' => '10', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => 'MARIA', 'Number' => 'TYX', 'CODE' => '6', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => '', 'Number' => 'TYX', 'CODE' => '10', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '8765', 'Name' => 'JEAN', 'Number' => 'HPO', 'CODE' => '6', };



Here is the result I am trying to get:
$VAR1 = { 'ID' => '1212', 'Name' => 'JOE', 'Number' => 'XY1', 'CODE' => '10', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => 'MARIA', 'Number' => 'TYX', 'CODE' => '10', }; $VAR1 = { 'ID' => '8765', 'Name' => 'JEAN', 'Number' => 'HPO', 'CODE' => '6', };

Thanks for looking!
