Hi,
I have a long list of variables to which I want to allocate values. The values to be allocated populate a hash and the keys of the hash are the variable names preceeded by an underscore.

i.e. the variable  $blastresult needs to be allocated the value accessed by  $$self{_blastresult}

There are around 20 variables in all so I would like to allocate the values in some sort of foreach loop. For example, using 2 variables for simplicity's sake I would like to do something like:

 foreach my ($blastresult, $value) {$_ = $$self{_$_};}

I can see the reasons why this particular code won't work, but can't see how I can fix it! Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance,

TB34

• 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).
