A subroutine I'm working on takes two hash references. The hashes are each actually a HoH.
timesheet(\%opsTotal, \%opsEnvTotal); The problem I'm having is that I need to look past the first hash and into the second for the existence of a particular key. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. sub timesheet { my ($dept, $env) = @_; #This is where I need help. 'user' is in the second hash but I'm not sure how #to get past the first one. Should I use a foreach and step through each key? if (exists $dept->{user}) { open TIMESHEET, ">/work_reports/user/ops_timesheet_weekof_$endDate.txt"; }else{ open TIMESHEET, ">/work_reports/user/eng_timesheet_weekof_$endDate.txt"; } print TIMESHEET "Timesheet for $startDate to $endDate\n\n\n"; foreach my $environ (sort keys %$dept) { #Print the header for our data print TIMESHEET "$environ", "\n"; printf TIMESHEET "%10s%8s\n", "User", "hh:mm"; print TIMESHEET ("-" x 30); print TIMESHEET "\n"; foreach my $name (sort keys %{ $dept->{$environ} }) { printf TIMESHEET "%10s%8s\n", "$name", "$dept->{$environ}->{$name}"; } printf TIMESHEET ("-" x 30); print TIMESHEET "\n"; printf TIMESHEET "%18s\n\n", "$env->{$environ}"; } close TIMESHEET; } -- Keep up with me and what I'm up to: http://theillien.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
