Hi all
I'm getting this error on the following (test) script:
Can't call method "x" without a package or object reference at test.pl line 12
<ENT> line 1
What I want to do is create a HashMap where the keys are names of accented
characters (as they are used in entities) and the values the UTF character
itself.
What am I doing wrong?
ENT has lines that look like this:
aacute 00E1
here's my script (test.pl):
---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %ent;
open ENT, "entities.txt" or die "cannot read entities: $!";
while (<ENT>) {
chomp;
m/^(.+) (.+)$/;
print "[$1]\t[$2]\n";
$ent{$1} = \x{$2};
}
---
before the error, the script prints (as expected): "[aacute]\t[00E1]\n"
Is there anything very fundamental I'm overlooking? (please be patient with me,
I'm not a computer scientist, but a linguist doing some basic programming.)
Many thanks for your help!
