(...that work in AOLserver.)
So, I've been writing Tcl for AOLserver since it only ran Tcl 7.4, and you
only had 3 choices for storing data in Tcl -- scalars, lists and arrays.
Things like a list of arrays weren't possible; if you wanted to have such
a thing, you had to fake it. I admit, I've gotten used to being able to
do such things in Perl, where an array of hashes is an ordinary thing (or
at least an array of hash references), and I have to say that I find it
convenient. How do Tcl programmers normally do such things? Do they
avoid messes like these, handle them in other languages, and provide Tcl
commands to manipulate them? Do they use one or more Tcl add-ons? (If so,
which ones work under AOLserver?) Or am I approaching the problem from
the wrong perspective?
What makes this an AOLserver question, rather than just a Tcl question, is
that I want to make sure whatever I do would be supported within AOLserver.
But other than that, it's not really an AOLserver question.
Thanks,
Pete.
