I think this is what you're trying to do.... But I'm not sure why? I'd only do this if you are expecting to have multiple configs for dbhost, e.g. devdb1, devdb2, devdb3... otherwise I'm not sure why you'd break down the structure this much...
DEV => { fullname => "DEVELOPMENT", dbhost => { "devdb" => { sshcon => "", }, webhost => { "devapp" => { sshcon => "", }, numweb => 1, version => "8.1.7", }, my $sshconn = $INST{$server}->{$serv_type}->{$serv_req}->{sshcon}; Regards Marty Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list Perl-Unix-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
