I'm using a function from DBI that needs a hash reference according to the
documentation, and I don't know how to turn $_ into one. The section of code I
have is:
if ($record{"Author"}) {
my @indfields = split(/\|/, $record{"Author"});
foreach (@indfields) {
my $authorid = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT authorid FROM author
WHERE name = ?", $_)
or die "Can't execute statement: $DBI::errstr";
The 'selectrow_array' function returns this error when run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/popline$ ./pop2sql.pl w
DBI::st=HASH(0x825da0c)->_prepare(...): attribute parameter 'Bedford JM' is not
a hash ref at /usr/lib/perl5/DBD/mysql.pm line 200, <> line 2.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/popline$
I've tried making the variable '\$_' and '\%$_' to no avail. I bet this is an
easy question for someone who knows what they're doing, but I can't find it.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.
