Second, and equally important, what kind of data structure
should I put the results in? I think I need a hash of hashes
Probably a list of hashes would be the most natural.
my @LoH = map { { split } } $file_contents =~ /\{(.*?)\}/gs;
. What I'd like
to do is assign each left hand value as the key in a hash. Then, in each set
there's a left 'command' where the right hand value will always be unique,
which would be perfect for use as the name of an alias for the hash or as
the key to a reference to a hash of that definition.
my %HoH;
while ( $file_contents =~ /\{(.*?)\}/gs ) {
my %entry = split;
$HoH{delete $entry{command}} = \%entry;
}
Shouldn't that be:
while ( $file_contents =~ /\{(.*?)\}/gs ) {
my %entry = split ' ', $1;
$HoH{delete $entry{command}} = \%entry;
}
