in reply to Python dict to perl hash

Several clever solutions to the specific problem of rot13, but useless in terms of the more general problem of converting a Python dict to a Perl hash! I've heard of an XY problem; are these XY solutions? ;)

    Kind depends upon the reason for having to do a conversion in the first place doesn't it?

    Unless there is a generic need to convert python dicts to Perl hashes?

        But I copied that dict from somewhere and need to convert it to hash to work upon it.

        Hm. His use of "it" implies singular; but it could go either way I suppose.

        (I'm just having trouble thinking of a scenario where he'd regularly or repeatedly need to C&P a chunk of Python dict initialisation into a Perl string and the parse it to initialise a hash.)

        But then, there are better ways of doing it in Python also:
