Re: Changing key values, i.e. renumbering keys?

If your keys are numbers, have you considered using an array instead?

I think what Corion is implying is that since you're squashing the second level keys to sequential indexen you could just keep them in an arrayref instead of a hash, and the element index would be the ID naturally (which makes sense; you'd just build a new parallel copy by walking over each sub-hash's values sorted by the key and push them into the new array). The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]
