I would use a sub hash
$Users{ User2 }{ Location } = .. ;
$Users{ User2 }{ Lastname } = .. ;
$Users{ User1 }{ Location } = .. ;
Then you can say
delete $Users{ $Section } ;
and avoid the looping.
You also get the added benefit of simpler database management if your
fetching / pushing to sql.
Hi,
I'm using the following code to delete values from a hash - I get the
warning (I say warning as it does delete the value) below when delete is
called. Is ther a better way of deleting values from hashes?
foreach $item (%$self) {
if ($item=~/^$section\.(.*)/) {
