Truly horrible! so you disagree with it being a bad site to learn from, but you finally realize this posting was horrible! in that one set of posts in this thread only a couple were reasonable. several didn't even properly address the question directly (he had a 2 or 3 level deep hash and just keys/values won't cut it). others partially answered. no one pointed the OP to perllol, perldsc, perlreftut which cover that topic well. this is not what i call an educational site. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
