Hi monks, Could you please help me with this.. I have to construct a string like 
 
A|{NameTag}|Command|{Name}|{Parameters...}

[download]
Currently I have a code that does something close to this 
 

my ($self,$nametag,$name,@params) = @_;#receives input from user
    
    my $tmp = {
    
        'NameTag' => $nametag,
        'Name'  => $name,
        
    }; 

#i don't know how to extract the contents of @params and put it in the
+ $tmp hash
    my $InputRequest = $Obj->CreateString($tmp);


}

sub CreateString

{
( my $self, my $hash ) = @_;

$str = "A|"
          . $hash->{'NameTag'} . "|"."Command"."|"
                 
          . $hash->{'Name'} . "|"
          

return ($str);
}

The problem is the user can send a command with multiple parameters in the form of an array like (a,b,c,d) the number of elements in the array may vary. HOw do I internally create a hash that can accomodate all the members of the array and concatenate it in the form a|b|c|d and put it in the form

A|{NameTag}|Command|{Name}|a|b|c|d

Please help.. I know only very basic perl.

Thank you
