Hello,
How does one update a hash element in PERL?
I am using anonymous hashes to process a file, and each element in the
anonymous has its own value...
If the file has success on process, I delete the hash element from the
anonymous hash...
If it the file fails to process, I need to increment the attempts to the
next higher number...
I tried this,
If ($HASH{KEY}->{attempts} != '5') {
$attempted = $HASH{KEY}->{attempts} + '1';
$HASH{KEY}->{attempts} => $attempted; #Update the hash key
} else {
Move the file to the error folder...
}
When I run it, I get "Useless use of hash element in void context.
Useless use of private variable in void context...
How could this better be written?
-Dan
