Hello,
I'm looking at the perl cookbook example on how to create a record data
type:
$record = {
NAME => "Jason",
EMPNO => 132,
TITLE => "deputy peon",
AGE => 23,
SALARY => 37_000,
PALS => [ "Norbert", "Rhys", "Phineas"],
};
# store record
$byname{ $record->{NAME} } = $record;
Is it possible to add another key:value-pair to $record *after* its
already been saved in %byname? For example, if I want to add
'phone => 999-9999' to $record for Jason. How do I do that?
I tried the following but it doesn't work and gives an error.
$byname { $record->{"Jason"}->PHONE } = '999-9999'; # error undefined val
I keep looking at the syntax but it's not sinking in.
thanks, Chee
