MrSnrub has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am using perl 5.10. I am iterating through a for loop. inside that loop I am trying to add an array to a list and then clear the array so I can add different items on the next iteration of the for loop. But when I clear the array, it's clearing the array that I already added to the hash. Here is my code:
I want $current_main_record(“role_data”) to hold @role_records, an array of hashes. I want to create a new array with the same name, I guess. How do I do that?# WRONG!!! This will create a reference (so when we clear it # a couple lines later everything will be deleted). # $current_main_record{"role_data"} = \@role_records; # CORRECT? Recursively copy everything in the entire array, # so that we can clear it a couple lines down? # Clear array for next go-round of the loop?. @role_records = ();
