Hi, okay - straight out of the coobook :
my @different = () foreach (keys %hash1) { delete $hash1{$_} unless exists $hash2$_}; push(@this_not_that,$_) unless exists $registered{$_}; }
easy to remove the different key from hash one and record the removed item in @different.
My question is how would you record the removed item in another hash so that it has the original key and corresponding value?
I've tried :
%different = (); foreach $key (keys %hash1) { $value = $hash1{$key}; @different{$_} = $value unless exists $hash2{$_}; }
but I get all sorts of rubbish Cheers, Mark
