I'm sure this is such a simple thing, most of you-all are laughing at me right now. main_program { blah; blah; %input_parm = (); $input_parm{PRICE} = "42.00"; $input_parm{PRODUCT_ID} = "1306"; $input_parm{INVENTORY_LOC} = "107"; $input_parm{CUSTID} = "23489"; my_subroutine(%input_parm); more irrelevant code; . . . } sub my_subroutine(%) { This is where I have trouble. I can't figure out the notation for reading the hash! } Thanks for your help. John Crockett John@TheNoSpamCrocketts.com (Take out NoSpam to e-mail me)Thread Next
