Here's a quickie: I need to create a hash index out of a string that looks like this:
loans:a_foo[0] If I build the index like this: $rec->{"loans:a_$fld[$i]"} = $tmp{$fld} || ''; perl thinks that $fld[$i] is an array element, which it isn't. Here are two solutions I found: $rec->{"loans:a_$fld" . "[$i]"} = $tmp{$fld} || ''; $rec->{"loans:a_$fld\[$i]"} = $tmp{$fld} || ''; Are there any other ways? Just curious.
