How do you determine what type of data a reference points to? I have a function (one in previous post) that can take either an array of scalars or an array of hash references. I want to execute different code based on which one it was. How can I do that?
perldoc -f ref
sub dohicky {
for(@_) {
if(ref($_) eq 'ARRAY') {
# process as an array ref
} elsif(ref($_) eq 'HASH') {
# process as a hash ref
} else {
# process non HASH/ARRAY REF
}
}
}HTH
