Re: Getting my head round hashes

[Greenhalgh David]

Thanks Scott,

So %hashref now has the modified list of priorities with the task_ID as 
the key.

I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this...

I do have use DBI in the code (clipped it by accident when I extracted 
the segment) but you are quite right about me missing the the 
fetchrow_hashref method. D'Oh.
