Re^2: Soft Array Refs

Thanks Stevie.

I regretted posting it about 30 minutes later after I had two words for myself: "associative arrays", aka a hash.

Up to now, I've gotten by with arrays for everything but now I see a true need for using a hash.

Rule of thumb: If order matters, use an array; otherwise use a hash. Most of the time, you should use a hash because of its expressive power. You can think of a hash as a miniature symbol table, if it helps. :)	[reply]
