Reference and assignment question

I was exploring why something didn't work the way I expected using DBM::Deep (0.983 from ActiveState) and came upon some behavior I don't understand. I think it has something to do with using bless or tie, but I have not used either yet. Here is my code. My questions are in the comments for the

Odd DBM::Deep behavior "cannot store tied value" using literal key name

Hi all, I am trying to create a test script for some work I'm trying to do with Data::Compare using DBM::Deep, but the test code is acting flaky and I'm not sure why. In a previous (and working) script, I have a DBM::Deep hash keyed using IP addresses. Inside the hash is an array that contains s

Re: Data::Compare module help

Oops.. I made one mistake in my explanation. The structure in question is a hash of usernames each containing another hash of the user attributes. I'm trying to use the code to ignore an attribute in the second-level hash. Will that work? On Dec 12, 2007 3:49 PM, Roman Daszczyszak &l

Data::Compare module help

Hi all, I am trying to utilize Data::Compare to compare two data structures containing user names and account attributes from Windows XP systems. Using Win32API::Net, it returns an array of usernames, which can be looped through to pull a hash of each users' attributes. However, comparing these h

Please sort the IP addresses with this way could help you, @list = sort { $b <=> $a } @ip_addresses; Wouldn't this do the same kind of sort I've been doing (aka a textual one)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking for a Perl module for proper IP sorting

I have a bit of code that collects and stores all the IP addresses used on my network. However, when I sort the list via 'sort' the IP addresses are listed as if they were text, so the output looks like this: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.114 192.168.0.115 192.168.0.116 192.16

Multiple matching question

Other ways to assign a filehandle to a variable?

After reading Randal's March 2000 LM column and learning that you can assign a filehandle to a scalar by doing something like: open(FILE, $filename) or die "whatever"; $value = *FILE{IO}; I am wondering if there are other, perhaps better, ways of doing this? FYI, I googled for "assigning fileha

Hello all, I am using a script to parse a CSV file with approximately 65,000 records. Some of these records contain characters such as é, ì, etc. I can read and write lines containing these characters via a file handle, however when I try and parse the line using the module Class::CSV, it fails
