I usually find that when I start getting data structures so complicated that I have to think about it, it is time to move to objects. Using objects usually makes the complicated data structures go away.

I wonder if you could change the strategy and work with smaller structure. That will be easier to comprehend. Leaving spaces inside the brackets can also help. It also seems you have an extra, unnecessary pair of curly braces: This might be slightly more readable: @{ $project{ $projectno }[3]{3} } regards Gabor Perl Tutorial http://szabgab.com/perl_tutorial.html _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
