Hi, In the script below I am trying my hand at using a code ref within a hash. I want the key 'name' to contain a scalar value. It does but I am not sure how to dereference it.
Here is the output from the script at the moment. /data/users/nat/finished/01.tif SCALAR(0x8db3cac) /data/users/nat/finished/19.tif SCALAR(0x8db3cf4) /data/users/nat/finished/06.tif SCALAR(0x8db3d3c) If i assign the return from the subroutine before, putting into a scalar and using that value within the hash then it's fine but in it's current state I get the SCALAR(0x8db3d3c) from $f->{'name'} Can anyone offer me some advise? Thanx, Dp. =========================script=========== #!/usr/bin/perl use lib qw(.); use strict; use warnings; use Config; use File::Find; my @list_of_found; find(\&wanted, $sroot); foreach my $f (@list_of_found) { print $f->{'basename'}," ",$f->{'name'},"\n"; } sub wanted { if ($File::Find::name =~ /users/ && $_ =~ /\.tif$/) { my %file = ( 'tiffpath' => $File::Find::name, 'basename' => $_, 'name' => \&edit_from_path($File::Find::name), ); push(@list_of_found,\%file); } } sub edit_from_path { (my $n) = ($_ =~ /users\/(\w+)\//); return $n; } ======================================= -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
