RE: a little help...


"my $MyIpAddrInfo = \%MIAI;" makes $MyIpAddrInfo a reference to the
%MIAI hash. That is why you can't print it directly.

If you want to treat $MyIpAddrInfo like the hash it refers to, you have
to dereference it by prefacing it with the '%' (see example below). The
brackets are usually optional, but some people like me just use them all
the time to avoid certain problems with more complicated data
structures.

my @keys = sort keys %{$MyIpAddrInfo};

You can also indirectly access the members of the hash by using the ->
operator, so:

$MyIpAddrInfo->{ip}

is the same as

${$MyIpAddrInfo}{ip}

is the same as

$MIAI{ip}

David,
Thank you for your help! I am trying to get this to work. Can you tell
me
what my $MyIpAddrInfo = \%MIAI; does? I am getting

HASH(0x8133528)

for $MyIpAddrInfo if I print it out after the:

$MyIpAddrInfo->{$ip}++;
