You have it slightly wrong... print $hashref{'disks'}->{'io'};
...And the quotes are optional (usually)... print $hashref{disks}->{io}; > Is there a more generic mailing list > for the different perl modules? Thare are other lists/newsgroups, but most are geared to specific port (ActiveState), or modules (Tk). This is a good list for any beginner(ish) question, no matter the subject... just as long as it is a Perl question. Rob -----Original Message----- From: Li, Kit-Wing [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 2:40 PM To: cgi cgi-list Subject: accessing a hash map... This may not be the right thread but I'd like to see if someone could point me to the right direction. I'm writing a CGI script to show current performance of the Apache server and I'm using Linux::stat to get the disk IO for example. I can seem to access the value of the hash reference(see below). Does anybody have any thoughts? Is there a more generic mailing list for the different perl modules? I know there's the mod_perl thread but its more for Apache. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! use Data::VarPrint; use Linux::stat; my $stat = Linux::stat->new( [ stat => "path to /proc/stat" ] ); my $hashref = $stat->stat(); print $hashref{'disks'}=>{'io'}; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
