Could someone please explain the difference between:
%{$self->{'DATA'}} = () }
and
$self->{'DATA'} = {}
I was told that they are equivalent, but they're not. One works and
the other doesn't, so they must be different. Here's the context:
--------------------
sub empty_db {
my $self = shift;
if ($self->{'USEDBM'} eq 'sql') {
$self->{'SQL'}->do("DELETE from $self->{'DB'}") or
$self->{'ERRMSG'} .= $DBI::errstr and return;
}
else { %{$self->{'DATA'}} = () }
# else { $self->{'DATA'} = {} } # This does nothing
}
--------------------
Thanks,
Frank
