Iterating through a array of hashes in a hash that has multiple indexes

arrays,perl,loops,hash,hashmap

You do not actually need to loop through keys %details. I take it, you have built the %details hash based on Borodin's suggestion from Extracting data from log file into Perl hash. In this case what you have is not actually an array of hashes but rather a single hash...

Perl: Using Text::CSV to print AoH

arrays,perl,csv

Pretty fundamentally - CSV is an array based data structure - it's a vaguely enhanced version of join. But the thing you need for this job is print_hr from Text::CSV. First you need to set your header order: $csv->column_names (@names); # Set column names for getline_hr () Then you can...

How to get a POD section into a string?

Reading from DATA file handle

performance,perl

I did some benchmarking against three methods. I used an external file for reading (instead of __DATA__). The file consisted of 3 million lines of the exact data you were using. The methods are slurping the file, reading the file line-by line, and using Storable as Sobrique mentioned above. Each...

Difficulties initializing an array in Perl

arrays,perl,hash

$dec_res->{repositories} is clearly an array It isn't. It is an array reference. but @repos is not? It is an array. You are creating a list that is one item long, and that item is the array reference. You then assign the list to the array, so the array holds...

Improving a sort program's efficiency; displaying column sort % completion in terminal

python,perl,sorting,unix

From your sample data, you are going to sort approximately 950MB. It will take 9.5s reading from normal HD (100MB/s). I do not know how fast it will be sorted by standard sort but from my experience it can go 1-3 millions of records per CPU core. Let's say 1...

The mask and level cannot contain whitespace, though the comment can. <CONFIG> is...

Why do I get “-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('” when I run my Perl one-liner?

Using Regexp::Common to get matched parenthesis, without the parenthesis

Perl Debugging Using Flags

In perl, compile time is also run time. So there's really not a great deal of advantage in using #define type statements. My usual trick is: my $debug = 0; $debug += scalar grep ( "-d", @ARGV ); (GetOpt is probably honestly a better plan though) And then use: print...

What happens to a non-matching regex in a Perl subroutine call?
