I'm under the impression that by assigning a single value to a hash it becomes the key with the value being null.

Perl will let you do it, but it is not a good idea and almost certainly is not what you want to do. snip
I did as you said and dereferenced each of those methods. Now, instead of getting "5" in the error, I'm getting "72". These numbers correspond to user IDs. I don't know why it is telling me "Can't use string ("72") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at ./user_timesheet_new.pl line 27."
snip Most likely because the methods you are using are not returning data that should be stuffed into a hash in the way you are attempting. I would suggest you go back and reread your documentation instead of just trying to make it work they way you are doing it now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
