Hi, My first newbie post. I wish to have two arrays indexed by a hash table. The simple program below runs and behaves properly initializing the hash table with the information I wish it to have.

However, Perl generates the following suggestion on the @header{} assignment statements,

"Scalar value @header{"keys"} better written as $header{"keys"} at iifm.pl line..."

If I rewrite it as Perl suggests, the two %header{} elements get initialized to the size of the arrays instead of the arrays. Why does Perl make this suggestion, and how do I get rid of it without getting rid of the "use warnings" statement?

Thanks, --H



use strict;
use warnings;
my %header;

open( IN, "<", $ARGV[0] );

@header{"keys"} = split(/\t\n/, <IN>);
@header{"info"} = split(/\t\n/, <IN>);
