I am not a good perl programmer, so take my advice with a grain of salt. The way I would implement the address book entry removal would be to remove the relevant hash entries and write out all hashes to the file, replacing the old address book. For this you will need to open the addybase.adb like this:

open ADDYBASE, ">addybase.adb";

There are a few BUTs with this approach:

  • It is not terribly efficient, especially if there are a lot of addressbook entries
  • This approach may be only useful as a quick hack

I am sure some perlmonks will suggest better alternatives, I just wanted to give my (hopefully useful) thoughts about the subject.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
