Re^4: Implicit references? module -> feature -> pragma -> "Perl8" ?

That's rather cryptic to me°, please exemplify the data-structures.

Or just use better names! ;)

I'm pretty sure that in the end %id is a misnomer, and something like %record or just the name of the corresponding DB.TABLE would be far more appropriate ...

(update)

... cause this looks a lot like a DBI->fetchall_hashref()

Regarding @id, (again) if it's an array use plural @ids .

°) I have no ID ... ;-)

`%record` sucks if you are processing lots of different data. `id` is just an example. And yes, 90% of that indead stems (indirectly) from DBI related `$sth->fetchrow_hashref ()`s, so I likely will have (`$tab1`, `@tab1`, `%tab1`), (`$tab2`, `@tab2`, `%tab2`) etc all eventually combined into the final `%rec` (or similar). Anyway, TIMTOWTDI and I LOVE the possibility to do it like this, cause it is easy to my mind. (and being the only perl programmer dealing with the code, I can do whatever I want, and thus I am always right and do not have to argue!) Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> TIMTOWTDI ... I LOVE ... easy to my mind. and since I'm proposing a pragma protecting legacy code, you are free to keep it this way. update but I still kind of doubt you are processing a DB.table called "ID".
