The impending advent of perl5.10 is leading me to think about what I'd like to see in a perl5.12.

I personally believe that it's now late to add to this thread, but I'm trying with a few interrelated ideas off the top of my head:

  • hash slices, such that %hash{@keys} has the same semantics of
    %{{ map { $_ => $hash{$_} } @keys }}
  • on a more daring basis, hash-like slices of an array, such that %array[@nums] has the same semantics of
    %{{ map { $array[$_] => 1 } @nums }}
  • on an even more daring basis, hash-like dereferencing of an arrayref, such that %{\@array} has the same semantics of
    %{{ map { $_ => 1 } @array }}

So, to test whether $element is in @array one may check ${\@array}{$element}.

(Moreover, these "conversions" may be optimized under the hood.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
