Message-Id: <b086pa$ip0$1@news8.svr.pol.co.uk>

Hi,

I've got a hashref (from a DBI fetchrow_hashref() call) and I want to take a
copy of it. I'm currently doing this:

my %hashcopy = %$hashref;

Is this the 'correct' way to do this?

Thanks,


Jeff Snoxell

why not just:

my $hashrefcopy = $hashref;

or did you have some reason for an actual hash rather than a ref?

  or did you have some reason for an actual hash rather than a ref?

Yeah, the original ref is not stable (it's returned from a DBI
fetchrow_hashref request). See my next post.

Don't use DIR then.  There is no need for it.

Subject: Most efficient way to do this DBI thing?
Message-Id: <b089ou$q37$1@newsg2.svr.pol.co.uk>

Hi again,

I've got this code which takes a local copy of a hash from a hashref
returned by a Perl DBI statement execution result set:

my $tmp_record;
my $record;
my %record_hash;

if ($tmp_record = $sth->fetchrow_hashref())
{
  %record_hash = %$tmp_record
  $record = \%record_hash;

  # Now I can use my $record...
  print "Hello this is my record ID: " . $record->{'ID'};
}

(NB: I _need_ to take a copy of the hash as I will be making further DBI
queries whilst still requiring access to the original record data and so, as
Perl DBI docs say I can't rely on their hashref not pointing to another hash
after a subsequent execution)

Surely there's got to be a nicer way of doing this that doesn't involve all
these variables?

Thanks,


Jeff

If you're asking how to simple eliminate the 2 lines and just make a 
copy, you could do this:

$href_copy = {%$tmp_record};

To create a new hashref that contains all the data from the original, 
but will not be re-used by DBI.  Good eye on the reuse of a hashref in 
DBI btw, I never noticed it in the docs before.  :)

By length of the scripting language's name.  :-)

So sh is going to be hard to beat (because C is compiled)  :-)  :-)

Wait a minute.
Internet Extinguisher does not follow w3c rules. they make up their own
rules.
your content-type: app/something will never work with IE. it works with
all othre browsers.
this may or may not help with your question, but it's important to know.

if IE thinks your file is html it will display it.
if IE thinks it should execute a file it will.

Thank you gentlemen for your help,

The problem was incorrect using of length(). As you all pointed out,

-s $file should be used instead, or, as I did , (stat $file)[7].

Thanks again

Hm.  Don't get me wrong, but... where is your problem?  Reading one line
from file1, reading two lines from file2, printing together to file3,
ready. 

What have you tried so far?  Where are you stuck?  Where does Perl not
do what you want?

Or is this just a "just-write-me-the-code-I-need" posting?

Sorry, if I should have mistaken your intent...

well, i call it the perl effect. :) note that the perl based crawler
development time doesn't count in the original time in developing
stem. but that is why you build tools first - they make all the projects
that follow that much easier and faster to build.

and i would say version 4 is more like it. stem is my 4th major event
loop and message passing system (going way back to an rtos in pdp-11
assembler). there is plenty of real world experience woven into stem's
architecture. :)

i got over my second system effect behavior many moons ago. :)

and for those of you who don't know what that means, read the classic
book "the mythical man month". it will teach you about the essence of
software development in the large and it is still useful 25 years later.

i did indeed and with good results and no segfault. the actual code i 
used was:

use Storable;
use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                From     =>"me\@myhost.com",
                To       =>"you\@yourhost.com",
                Cc       =>"some\@other.com, some@more.com",
                Subject  =>"Helloooooo, nurse!",
                Type     =>"image/jpeg",
                Encoding =>"base64",
                Path     =>"chk.jpg"
);

print $msg->as_string;

store $msg, 'file';

my $msgcopy = retrieve('file');

print $msgcopy->as_string;


the printed results were identical... as far as whether the retrieved 
data was a blessed ref, i don't know...

There's a problem here. If saved.dat doesn't exixt the script exits with:
can't open saved.dat: No such file or directory at save-vars1.pl line 8

What about...

$ref = retrieve 'saved.dat' if -e saved.dat;

Will that still give me a race problem?

So I _do_ use "store \%vars" to store %vars?

Thanks.

Thank you.  However...

I can be picky with the best of them, I have been and will be again.
If I appear more lenient than some, that is because I have grown tired
of repeating the same sermon over and over.  It's more a form of
laziness than anything else.

You'll have to take the good with the bad.  On a newsgroup like clpm,
with a relatively small body of regulars and a large daily influx of
questions, some frustration is bound to build up with those who answer
the questions, and frustration wants to be expressed from time to time.
Sometimes this hits someone more forcefully than is immediately
justified by the occasion.  Such is life.

The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup

where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.

For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
