Or you could have an actual nested tree e.g
my %tree = (
"Office of President" => {
Recruiting => undef,
'Pipe line' => undef,
Software => {
MIS => undef,
'System Operations' => undef,
},
}
);
print dump_tree(\%tree);
sub dump_tree {
my($tree, $indent) = ( $_[0], $_[1] || 0 );
my $ret = '';
for(sort keys %$tree) {
$ret .= " " x $indent."$_\n";
$ret .= dump_tree($tree->{$_}, $indent + 2)
if ref $tree->{$_} and ref $tree->{$_} eq 'HASH';
}
return $ret;
}
__output__
Office of President
Pipe line
Recruiting
Software
MIS
System Operations
Which, as you can see, lends itself to a nice recursive subroutine to dump the given tree.
