RE: Help Help Help

[webmaster]

Hi,

The advantage of publicly declaring that you don't know something is that it
gives you an ability to ask for help without having to worry about your ego
getting bruised.

So here goes.

Can anybody explain to me what I should have done?

Ade

This one works, right?

Does cybereaglesnews return an array of hashes? If it doesn't, then
hash2string isn't going to work

According to your Get routine, the handler returns an array of links to
articles. You need to do some additional processing if you want to return an
array of hashes containing the URLs and headlines.
