u were right about that, silly me
and yet, now i have an incredibly trivial problem. For some reason, when i leave it as printing to the command window, it spews out the exact stuff that i want, yet when i tell it to print to a filehandle, the file is empty afterwards...
here's my code:
#! /usr/bin/perl
print "File Location?";
my $data_file = <>;
open(DATA, $data_file);
my @list;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my (%hash, @rest);
($hash{first}, $hash{date}, @rest) = split(",", $_);
for my $r (@rest) {
my ($k, $v) = split(' ', $r, 2);
$hash{$k} = $v;
}
push(@list, \%hash);
};
my %seen;
for (@list) { for (keys %$_) { $seen{$_}++ } };
delete $seen{first};
delete $seen{date};
my @allkeys = ('first', 'date', sort keys %seen);
my @keys = (sort keys %seen);
open(DATAOUT, ">1.temp");
while(<DATAOUT>) {
for my $h (@list) {
print DATAOUT join(",", $h->{first}, $h->{date},
map { $_." ".$h->{$_} } @keys), "\n";
}
}

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).
