I'm writing code for a nested template loop using HTML::Template. I have an array of hashes for the first loop, and then within each hash, I need to create a key (named picorder) whose value is another hash for the internal template loop.
Here is relevant code:
my $x=0; my $numpix = @data; while ($data[$x]){ my ($i,@orderdata,%myhash); foreach $i (1 .. $x){ if ($i == $data[$x]{'picorder'}){$myhash{'orderline'} = "< +option value=\"$i\" selected>$i</option>"; }else{$myhash{'orderline'} = "<option value=\"$i\" sel +ected>$i</option>";} push (@orderdata, \%myhash); } $data[$x]{'orderdata'} = \@orderdata; if ($data[$x]{'anaglyph'} eq "Yes"){$data[$x]{'anaglyph'}="che +cked";} $x++; }
When I run the program, I get the error 'Can't use string ("anaglyph") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use'. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
