I am using Data Dumper to send a perl hash ref from one server to another. Works great but for one weird thing. When I setup some hash refs i see something like this:
$VAR1 = {
'test1' => [
{
'temp' => '123'
}
],
'test2' => [
$VAR1->{'test1'}[0]
]
};
Where you see VAR1 I would like to find a way for this to just show the correct data instead of the reference.
The code might help you understand more seeing the output.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my ($hash_ref, $var1);
print "This is my test of Data Dummper\n";
## Setup Data
$var1->{temp} = "123";
push (@{$hash_ref->{test1}}, $var1);
push (@{$hash_ref->{test2}}, $var1);
print Dumper($hash_ref);
## print new data
my $VAR1;
eval Dumper($hash_ref);
print Dumper($VAR1);
exit;
Full output
$VAR1 = {
'test1' => [
{
'temp' => '123'
}
],
'test2' => [
$VAR1->{'test1'}[0]
]
};
$VAR1 = {
'test1' => [
{
'temp' => '123'
}
],
'test2' => [
undef
]
};
As you can see test2 is undef instead of saying temp => '123'.
Is there a way to fix this? thanks

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).
