If you *need* the keys returning in a specific order, you have to code this yourself. One method I use is to have an array (which is always in the order specified) and use that instead of the keys <hashname> clause. For your example I'd use my @keylist=('hostname','os','osver','osrel','srvtype','srvmodel','memory','cpu '); and then replace foreach $CMD (keys %{$commands{$items}}){ with foreach $CMD (@keylist){ > > > Phillip Bruce > ISC Consultant, System Architect > Location: Dublin, CA > * Cell: 408-476-8658 > * Office: 925-560-7853 > AIM: OkieUnix -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
