Thanks for the link! I already read some stuff referenced there, and this fog of "Object Oriented Programming" is already beginning to clear. Furthermore, I came to the conclusion that this OO approach is too extensive for what I was trying to realize. So, since there was no evident need for being able to associate the long names of a staff group ($lang) with the corresponding abbreviation ($kurz), I simply changed the hash into an array and everything is fine :-) Regards, Nora -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
