in reply to Re^2: Remove multiple fields from hashref?in thread Remove multiple fields from hashref?
Yeah, thats about it :)
FWIW, you don't need the extra {} in this case , but its the simplest rule to remember
$ perl -MData::Dump -e " $f = { 1..8 }; delete @$f{1..4}; dd$f; " { 5 => 6, 7 => 8 } [download]
Also happens to be first rule in References quick reference
99/100 I use rule 1 :)
