I'm trying to find if an array's elements are simple strings or if they
are hashrefs.
my @a = ('string1','string2','string3');
my @a = (
{ STRING => 'string1', ID => 1 },
{ STRING => 'string2', ID => 2 },
);
my $aref = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; # this value is passed to a sub
i've tried:
if($aref->[0]->{STRING}){
print "array contains hash1\n";
}
if(keys %{$aref->[0]}){
print "array contains hash2\n";
}
but while using strict and testing the plain array, I get an error:
Can't use string ("string1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
What's the correct method for this?
