Hi,
I am trying to create this data structure as below:
$perl = [
{
fname => 'Fred',
lname => 'Flintstone',
residence => 'Bedrock'
},
{
fname => 'Barney',
lname => 'Rubble',
residence => 'Bedrock'
}
];
I have a couple of questions. a) What is it called. Is it an array of
hashes that is being stored in a scalar?
b) How can I create it from the data I have. Currently I have created a
single record, (see below), but I am having trouble understanding how I
can turn my $record below into a data structure like the one in the above
example.
I have managed to create a single record like this:
while(@row = fetchrow_array0
{
$record = {
TRADE_DATE => $row[0],
TRADE_TIME => $row[1],,
FIRSTNAME => $row[2],
LASTNAME => $row[3],
EXCHANGE => $row[4],
SYMBOL => $row[5],
};
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
