Firstly, thanks for your response, much appreciated =).
could you please elaborate? I don't understand the question ...
I'm referring to this %{{f}} code which creates a transient hash (which keys can then operate on) from a hash reference. Perhaps I'm not using the jargon correctly, my apologies.
I don't know of more elegant ways to do this in other languages to be honest. I was hoping that it were possible to create a transient hash more directly with something like
keys %(f)
for example.
Creating a helper routine which hides this away or adjusting the f() routine to return a hash reference would both work, but the former sacrifices the brevity I'm after and the latter may not always be feasible.
keys HASH operates on the datatype hash not list, which means something starting with a % sigil here
Do you know if there's a reason that it can't operate on a list?

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).
