So how would you take the next step and represent this data in perl. For instance, if at the end of all this I want
@name to hold 'Theodor Nelson','Morton Heilig' ,and
@id to hold '_333301','_13204'
how would I do that? I tried
my @names = @{ $inventors_array[1]->{"name"} };
but that gives me
Can't use string ("Morton Heilig") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs"
+ in use
I'm not trying to define $names[Morton Heilig] = something, I'm trying to define $names[1]=Morton Heiling, or alternatively $names{_13204} = 'Morton Heilig'

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).
