in thread Words and Numbers to hash

this worked for the most part however, the first value I am getting is:

$VAR1 = 'Opp Avg Score Margin'; $VAR2 = '10.8'; ...

Instead of all the stuff leading up to it:

Points/Game 80.5 Opp Points/Game 69.7 Avg Score Margin 10.8

Why would you think that would be?

    You may be expecting the hash to preserve the order of the fields extracted from the string. It won't. The only 'order' in a hash is the key/value paring of each hash element. You must somehow impose your own order on top of this inherent order. Perhaps see Tie::IxHash.
