Ian, that would work for an array, but not a hashref:

You can never stop learning Perl. (Unless your Larry Wall).

It took me about a year to learn Perl.

The best place to start to learn something is Google or a book (Perl Cookbook ($77 Canadian)). Also, Perl Doc would be a good place to start.

Some other Perl references:

Robert's Perl Tutorial **REALLY GOOD**
Perl Monks

Thankyou very much but I really don't have so much time to learn, I have a basic school day 7am til 4.30pm...is there a crash course?
Also I bought a book when i wanted to learn HTML, and that didn't help whatsoever, because i already knew HTML Rolling Eyes

ah, thats not what i meant, i have it set up using the foreach exactaly as demonstrated, but I need the handler called subs to "know" which mirror is being delt with, ie that status sub has access to knowing what its handle is.

thanks!

Well, in my example:

$msn->{1}->sendMessage, etc. You'd just set $msn->{1}->{handle} to your bot's email, so it can find itself.

There's another way to get the bot's own handle and/or MSN reference.

When you have a switchboard or notification object ($self), just use:
$self->{Msn}
as your $msn object.....
$self->{Msn}->call ('soandso@hotmail.com','Hello!');

And to get your handle......
$self->{Msn}->{Handle} if you have $self, or
$msn->{Handle} if you have $msn.

Either way works fine. Smile
