Re: Problem with my code

The use of the special variable $; is not why

@foo{$a[1],$a[2],$a[3],$a[4]} but screwed up the sigil. The spaces
are only important if you want to recover the individual values from
the key, and, since you are storing the entire record, you don't even
need the key to get those values. Why would you create a nested hash?
This does not appear to be a tree data. If you want to do it long
hand because you don't want the spaces that using an array slice will
add then simply say

$hash{"{$cdr[2]$cdr[3]$cdr[6]$cdr[7]"}



#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

my %hash1 = ();
my %hash2 = ();

my $key1 = 'ab';

$hash1{"$key1$key2"} = 'some value';
$hash2{$key1}{$key2} = 'some value';
