Re^2: What does the dash before hash assignment means?

"...is not a hash assignment"

It is.

#!/usr/bin/env perl                                                   
+                                            

use strict;
use warnings;

print fun(-nose =>'cuke') . qq(\n);

sub fun {
    my %args = @_;
    return $args{-nose};
}

__END__
