Re^2: Clear / Initialize multiple hashes

Thanks! both replies helped a lot. I thought it looked a little funky and thought I would check so I am really glad I did. Any suggestion on the best way to clear all of them? At initialization I can just do:

my(%hash1,%hash2,%hash3);

but later on if I want to clear all of them how should I go about it? I mean I could just clear each one individually, but when I have a long list that can be a bit of a pain...

but later on if I want to clear all of them how should I go about it? The simplest way is to scope them such that they get reinitialised by re-entering the scope each time you want to re-use them: `for( some loop condition or contruct ) { my( %hash1, %hash2, %hash3 ); ## do stuff with them ... }` [download] Each time that loop iterates, the hashes will be reinitialised for you. But, it you really need to do it manually, you could use: `undef %$_ for \(%h1,%h2,%h3);` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

You can do `( %hash1, %hash2, %hash3 ) = (); # or %hash1 = %hash2 = %hash3 = ();` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]
