Agreed. Also, by building it in a hardcoded hash of hashes it makes it
harder to maintain (read: easier to break) as you add/remove servers or
change settings. You might consider creating a config file that your script
reads and builds the hash dynamically.
Might look something like:
my $inst;
my %hash;
foreach(<DATA>)
{
chomp($_);
my ($key,$value) = split(/\=/,$_);
if ($key eq 'INST')
{
$inst = $value;
}
else
{
$hash{$inst}{$key}=$value;
### You could also build additional rules to created deeper
### hashes if desired
}
}
