too much code , too many file system operations
Where is the problem?
Is the problem with the data structure , or the subroutine doing the printing?
When you Data::Dump::dd()umper up the data structure and read it with your eyes, is everything there?
If you really want more help, you should whittle down your program to this my %ref;
my $threelinefakein = "...\n...";
fillRef( \%ref, \$threelinefakein );
my @fakes = ( "1\n2\n3", "1\n2\n3" );
for my $fake ( @fakes ){
refLogic( \%ref, \$fake );
}
subroutines save the day, its very easy to debug subroutines, you don't need files on the harddisk and other stuff we don't have (and don't really want :)
Here is how you might start writing refLogic and fillRef ## Usage: fillRef( $hashref, $infilename );
sub fillRef {
## so you can keep using $ref{blah}
## less rewriting when you copy/paste
local *ref = shift;
## open the string as file
open IN, '<', shift;
...
}
## Usage: refLogic( $hashref, $infilename );
sub refLogic {
local *ref = shift;
## open the string as file
open IN, '<', shift;
## fake out for testing
local *OUT = \*STDOUT;
}
Eliminate file system operations for files we don't have, include three lines files that replicate the problem, include them as strings
update: finally I read the whole thing you posted, just dumper up two variables and we can start debugging these two loops
my %ref = ... ; ## Data::Dump::dd(%ref) output here
my @probes = ... ; ## Data::Dump::dd(@probes) output here
##
foreach my $key ( sort keys %ref ) {
#intended function
print OUT $ref{$key} . "\t" . $probes[$key];
#testing
my @temp = split "\t", $ref{$key};
foreach (@temp) {
if ( $temp[0] == 2 ) {
print $key. "\t" . $ref{$key} . "\t" . $probes[$key];
}
}
}
##
foreach my $key ( sort keys %ref ) {
print OUT $ref{$key} . "\t" . $probes[$key];
my @temp = split "\t", $ref{$key};
foreach (@temp) {
if ( $temp[0] == 2 ) { print $key. "\t" . $ref{$key} . "\n
+"; }
}
}
update: now that I've looked at these two loops, well, the inner foreach is completely unneeded .... and aside from the different things you print (one has probles the other doesn't), they're pretty much the same thing
Hope this help, if it doesn't, well, take a break, post short code, we'll figure it out

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>

-
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).
