hello Monks,

I have a problem at work that involves getting data from diary fields in a Remedy database. I'm using ARSPerl, which gets the data as an array of hashes. The ARSPerl documentation suggests a ways to get the data out of the hashes, but it doesn't work. I tried about 4 other things and they didn't work. One of these was from section 4.7.3 of Programming Perl.

I won't bore you with the details of every attempt. The last thing I tried looks like this:

    my %hash = $diary_data[0];
    my @temp1 = keys %hash;
    print "%hash\n";
    foreach $temp2 (@temp1) {
        print "$temp2\n";
        print "$hash{$temp2}\n";
    }

This printed:

Reference found where even-sized list expected at ./send_referral.pl l
+ine 200.<BR>
Use of uninitialized value at ./send_referral.pl line 204.<BR>
ARRAY(0x3c05dc)
[download]

(Line 200 starts with "my %hash" in the snippet above.

At this point, I'm wondering if there is a bug somewhere in this package? I have the same problem running this script on Solaris and on NT. I'm wondering about the error about an "even-sized list expected".

Thanks for the help.
