Subject: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] TO Perl Mongers on Wednesday!
Message-ID: <4EE24BFB.9010304@valueclick.com>

The next meeting of the Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers is this coming 
Wednesday, December 14, at the usual time and place.  Check out these 
exciting presentations!

http://thousand-oaks.pm.org/

...okay, there are no presentations.  Yet.  Two lumps of coal in our 
stocking!  Whose fault is that?  Well, mine.  I didn't announce the 
meeting until today.

But perhaps a holiday miracle will occur, and one or two brave people 
will present on topics of interest to Perl programmers.  Our presenters 
have a 92% survival rate*, and that ain't bad.

Don't be shy, folks.  We're a good audience, and our presentations run 
the gamut from highly technical and detailed to light and superficial.  
(The latter are my presentations).

So try your hand, or if you don't want to, come on out and see what we 
do present.

* -- During the meeting itself.  Does not include figures for the 
Thousand Oaks Perl Curse.

Although I usually enjoy the trip up the coast, I have urgent plans for
this upcoming wednesday night, and won't be attending.  So, no, I can't
even be called upon to give Yet Another Preso. :)

Subject: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] Thousand Oaks PM cancelled this month
Message-ID: <4EE941AD.10303@valueclick.com>

We have no presenters, and likely very few attendees, so we're calling 
off TO Perl Mongers this month.

See you in the New Year!

Of course I failed to notice this email, so like an idiot, I showed up
at ValueClick last night<g>.

Since I missed out, I thought I would share this very short snippet with
you.

I have to deal with many Excel files and CSV files, so I have code that
reads each line into an array to be processed. The problem is that my
users keep jacking around the column order before giving me the final
file. I decided to fix that by reading row 0 (or, to my great annoyance,
row 1 in Excel-speak), which in my case always contains column headers,
look for the column names I need and extract the array offset to use in
extracting data from subsequent rows.

There is, of course, more than 1 way to do this, but to keep it simple,
this is the way I do it. One gotcha is if your array contains any
duplicate values, you are screwed. My apologies if this code is too
elementary for the list members:

use warnings;
use strict;

# Array represents columns read from a CSV file.
# Or whatever you want.
my @array = ('zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four');

# Create hash where the keys are the values from the
# array, and the values are the positions in the array.
my $i = 0;
my %hash = map {$array[$_] =>  $i++} (0..$#array);

# Display the results.
print "$_, $hash{$_}\n" foreach (keys(%hash));
