in reply to one-liner to merge arrays (Re: A C-like brain in a Perl-like world)
in thread A C-like brain in a Perl-like world

Lets look at it blown out:
= values %{{ map {$_ => $_ } @a,@b }} ; = values # I want a hash and return a list %{ } # I turn a hashref into a hash { } # I turn a list into a hashref map { } @a,@b # I return a list from a list => , # We construct lists

HTH...

    Thanks extremely and jeffa, it's all clear now.

    I should have realised, since the array equivalent would be @{[  ...  ]} , that the brackets were doing different things - but I'd managed to confuse myself.

    Cheers,
    Andy.
