in reply to Hashes and hash references

This might be a silly question but is it more efficient to declare and uses hashes that way (reference)
No, a direct hash will be marginally faster.

PS this is wrong: 

my %student = {};

[download]
it should be 
my %student = ();

[download]
or even just 
my %student;

[download]
as the hash is created empty already
