if($ID = $ID2 and $mac2 = ''){ $$ref2{'Network ID 1'} = $mac; }else{ push @extras,\$ref; }

Are you aware that the expressions  $ID = $ID2 and  $mac2 = '' are assignments and not comparisons? In any case, the  $mac2 = '' assignment will always be boolean false and the if-conditional will always be false. Probably what you meant was
    if ($ID == $ID2 and $mac2 eq '') { ... } else { ... }
because  $mac2 is certainly being compared to a string, and I suspect that  $ID == $ID2 is likewise a string comparison and therefore should be  $ID eq $ID2 instead.

Update: An example:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le "my ($ID, $ID2, $mac2) = ('foo', 'foo', ''); ;; if($ID eq $ID2 and $mac2 eq ''){ print 'true block'; }else{ print 'false block'; } " true block c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le "my ($ID, $ID2, $mac2) = ('foo', 'foo', ''); ;; if($ID = $ID2 and $mac2 = ''){ print 'true block'; }else{ print 'false block'; } " false block

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
