Hi,
I was trying to find out why $input_field{$colname} wasn't returning
anything when $colname = "Attendance_Comment", and discovered this odd
behavior:
DB<41> p join "/", keys %input_field
/Attendance_Code/SchoolID/Att_Date/Student_Number
DB<42> p join "\n", keys %input_field
Attendance_Comment
Attendance_Code
SchoolID
Att_Date
Student_Number
DB<43> p join ("/", keys %input_field) . "\n"
/Attendance_Code/SchoolID/Att_Date/Student_Number
DB<44>
Depending on how I join the keys, the first key is either
"Attendance_Comment" or empty.
Same behavior with values:
DB<44> p join "\n", values %input_field
Unexcused
U
190
08/08/2008
100020
DB<45> p join "/", values %input_field
/U/190/08/08/2008/100020
DB<46> p join " = ", values %input_field
= U = 190 = 08/08/2008 = 100020
And, as I said (and what my real problem is), $input_field{$colname}
returns empty.
DB<47> p $colname
Attendance_Comment
DB<48> p $input_field{$colname}
Any ideas what might be going on here? I'm completely baffled.
Thanks,
Chap
