I am very new to perl and programming in general. I have been trying to figure out how to convert an array into a hash. The goal is to get an array of files within a directory and then store those in a hash for HTML::Template to display (via the TMPL_LOOP)
use File::Find::Rule; use Data::Dumper; my $rule = File::Find::Rule->new; $rule->file; $rule->name( '*.zone' ); my @files = $rule->in("/home/dns");
This seems to take care of creating my array. The problem lies when converting my array into a hash. The code I have below is what I have come up with, but since the only real data I care about in the hash is the "key" do I need to add a value to it?
%hash = map { $files[$_], $_ + 1 } 0 .. $#files; foreach my $name (sort keys %hash) { my $host = $hash{$name}; print $host; my %row = { name => $name, };
perl test.cgi
141629131217242221182019162310411315587
is the output. What appears to be happening is the foreach loop is iterating over the wrong field, but I can't figure out why.
