Sorry for the reply to an old-node, but I was wondering what you meant by "reference-safe", and thought you might mean something like the following (which I thought might emit a "Modification of a read-only value" error if the $_ in the for loop were still referring to the keys of the hash), but it seems to work just fine without error (tested on 5.6 and 5.8): #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub merge {
my %hash;
@hash{@_} = ();
sort keys %hash;
}
my @array1 = qw(a b c d e);
my @array2 = qw(c d e f g);
for (merge(@array1, @array2)) {
$_++;
print "$_\n";
}

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).
