Thank you to everyone on this list who has been most helpful and patient! I was able to track down the Camel Book at a bookstore and I have not stopped reading. I do have a question concerning list and hash and the performance.
I am reading a file into a list and then formatting it to prepare it for a mainframe. Currently I read the contents into a list as such: my @fields = split(/\t/, $record) and then I call them by $fields[0], etc. Would it be more beneficial to use a hash instead? Or is that overkill? I would need to set the key and then import the values from the file import. -Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
