Hi :]

Please CC the JaxPM list  ( jacksonville-pm-list at hfb.pm.org )
for all Perl-centric questions; we are developing an archive.


How do I add a new element to a hash?  Good question!

The 'Perl Cookbook' page 130, Section 5.1
'Adding an Element to a Hash' states:

$HASK($KEY) = $VALUE;


Also, your second intent -

How do I merge two hashes?  Page 145 states:

%merged = (%A,%B);  # Is prolly what you want...

The PUSH function is best used to append two (or more) arrays
together; like:

push (@array1, @array2);


HTH,
