Re^2: Count array element in HASH of ARRAYS

Just curious: Are the
$containers{$con} = [ ] if !exists $containers{$con};
or
$containers{$con} = 0 if !exists $containers{$con};
statements strictly (or warnings-ly) necessary with your Perl version? They aren't with 5.8.9 and 5.14.4 — but they certainly do no harm in any case.

Give a man a fish: <%-(-(-(-<

Seems they aren't necessary even with strict, no. I'm just prone to: `use paranoid qw(really really);` [download] Which is not to say it's a good thing. In fact I'll take those out...they might be taken to improve readability or something but not significantly IMO.	[reply] [d/l]

`$containers{$con} = 0 if !exists $containers{$con};` [download] Above one works. Statement "Strictly" is in use and perl version is 5.10.1, no error / warning	[reply] [d/l]
