Hey List. I have run into a situation that I am unclear on.
I am making the following assignment during a loop: push @{$response_hash{$request_id}},{time => "$time",ip_addr => "$ip_address",oids => "%response_values"}; Where: response_values is a simple hash containing key,value pairs and $time and $ip_address are simple scalar vars. I can iterate through the %response_values hash after it is created localy using simple foreach my $value (keys %response_values ) syntax, but when I try to include that iteration when iterating the main response hash, I am not getting any values. I am using the following syntax: foreach my $request (sort keys %response_hash) { print "Response to request_id $request\n"; foreach my $record(@{$response_hash{$request}}) { print "Time : $record->{time}\n"; print "IP : $record->{ip_addr}\n"; foreach my $response ($record->{keys %response_values} ) { print "Response to oid : $response = $response_values{$response}\n"; } } } The other attributes of the %response_hash are printing fine, just not the contents of the %response_values hash. I have also tried assigning as a referance, but that does not seem to work either: push @{$response_hash{$request_id}},{time => "$time",ip_addr => "$ip_address",oids => "\%response_values"}; I get an error when trying to referance it later during the main hash iteration: Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash (not reference constructor) at H:\nhsParseSnmpLog.pl line 56, near "%response_values} " I am pretty confused at this point and would really appreciate any help I could get.
