You know, this sounds awfully like the question "Sherri" asked a couple of days ago... See the below thread.

I have an assign where my instructor asked me to do the following: (and I don't know where to begin, please advise, I would greatly appreciate it) "Write a program that will merge two hashes together onto a third hash called %h3. Return a reference to %h3 to the main program and print each of the values of the hash %h3 using the arrow notation. Name the actual function performing the merge mergehash. Pass %h1 and %h2 to mergehash as references, do not create extra variables for the pass." -----Original Message----- From: jonathan vandine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 November 2001 13:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: hash concatenation I am trying to pass to hashes to a subroutine and combine into one hash. Then return that hash as a reference to the main program. Then print the result of new hash. %h1 = ("key1" => value1); %h2 = ("key2" => value2); $rnew = &mergehash(\%h1, \%h2); sub mergehash{ %h3 = @_; return \%h3; } print $rnew->{key1}; _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------.
