Well, this is one way:
foreach (@array)
{
my ($key,$val);
/\w+$/ and $key = $&;
/^\d+/ and $val = $&;
$hash{$key} = $val;
}
This will slow down all your pattern matches because of using $&. The alternative, if you don't use $& or similar variables elsewhere, would be
$key = $_; $val = $_;
and then some kind of substitution.
It also assumes that numbers are always,er, numbers and the names are always one word. If not, you could use \b for boundary-matching

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).
