I have a program which returns backup data. It currently uses only one function of a module an I would like to modify it to use others.

Truncated contents of %images:

172  'galahad_1023056445'
173  HASH(0x5cdf98)
   'backup_id' => 'galahad_1023056445'
   'backup_status' => 0
   'backup_time' => 1023056445
   'bi_full_time' => 0
   'class' => 'MII-AFS-Filesystem'
   'class_type' => 'Standard (0)'
   'client' => 'galahad'
   'id' => 'CC0981'
[download]

Truncated contents of %jobs:

68  212844
69  HASH(0x7eff68)
   'class' => 'NT-Development'
   'classtype' => 13
   'client' => 'ahrdev'
   'compression' => 0
   'elapsed' => 0000037093
   'ended' => 1022923736
   'filelistcount' => 1
   'files' => 'ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES'
   'fileslastwritten' => 0
   'group' => ''
   'jobid' => 212844
   'jobpid' => 17667
   'jobtype' => 'immediate'
   'kbytes' => 295857
[download]

%images and %jobs are populated like this:

my %images = bpimagelist('$record->{client}');
my %jobs = bpdbjobs();
[download]

Subroutine which produces desired output:

sub post2Web {
  my $jRef = shift();
  my $infoformat = "%-30s %-40s\n";

  ### Base directory of Web database

  my $base = '/usr/openv/netbackup/jobs/db';

  ### Job ID index directory
  my $jidbase = '/usr/openv/netbackup/jobs/byJobID';

  ### make today's client directory if ! exist

  my $bkup_date = strftime "%Y%m%d", localtime($jRef->{started});
  my $wkdir = "$bkup_date/TEST/$jRef->{client}";
  mkpath("$base/$wkdir", 0, 0755) unless -d "$base/$wkdir";

    ### make directory to hold class/schedule/jobid info

  my $csdir = "$jRef->{class}/$jRef->{schedule}/$jRef->{jobid}";
mkpath("$base/$wkdir/$csdir", 0, 0755) unless -d "$base/$wkdir/$csdir"
+;

symlink "../db/$wkdir/$csdir", "$jidbase/$jRef->{jobid}"|| die "$!";

  open(INFO, ">$base/$wkdir/$csdir/info") || die "Unable to open/write
+ $base/$wkdir/csdir/info, $!";
  printf INFO $infoformat, "jobid", $jRef->{jobid};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "jobtype", $jRef->{jobtype};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "state", $jRef->{state};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "status", $jRef->{status};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "client", $jRef->{client};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "server", $jRef->{server};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "stunit", $jRef->{stunit};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "started", $jRef->{started};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "elapsed", $jRef->{elapsed};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "ended", $jRef->{ended};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "files", $jRef->{files};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "Mbytes", $jRef->{Kbytes};
  printf INFO $infoformat, "kbytes last written", 
  close INFO;
}
</CODE<p>
What I want to do is incorporate pertinent values from <CODE> %image
[download]

in the output.
This separate piece of code will give me the desired output, but I just don't know how to combine the two.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use NBUX;

my $record;
my %images = bpimagelist('$record->{client}');

foreach my $key (sort keys %images) {
prtID($images{$key});
}

sub prtID {
my $ref = shift;
print "client = $ref->{client}\n";
print "\tid= $ref->{id}\n";
}

Sorry if this is a little verbose; please feel free to say so.
