I'm attempting to debug a program that I can not get to work. Basically, I have a list of integer values that I read into a hash. I need to output every integer between 1 and 5000 that are not in the hash. My problem arises when I attempt to check if a value exists in the hash. No matter what I do, the condition always seems to evaluate as false. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can not figure out what. Can anyone shed some light on the situation?
The code is below...
my %faclist;
my $i;
open(DATA, "AXP_FACS.DAT");
while(<DATA>){
my $line = $_;
$faclist{$line} = "";
}
close(DATA);
for ($i=1;$i<5001;$i++){
if exists $faclist{$i}{#THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS
print "$i\n";
}
}

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).
