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'
