my %hash = ('a'=>'test');
my @arr = ($hash{'a'});
print \$hash{'a'}."\n";
print \$arr[0]."\n";
How can I do something like that, except re-use the same data rather than create a copy (same reference, not just same value)? I assume that would be faster? I know I can put the reference in the array, but the values need to be in the array so they can be passed to printf. The size of the array and the keys in the hash will vary. This code will be iterated millions of times, so I want it as fast as possible. The hash won't be used once the array is created, so I'm not concerned about the hash values being modified when the array values are.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
