Key/Value Hash Slices were added in Perl v5.20 (the rest of the Slices doc is probably worth a read too).

Thanks for mentioning that here; as to my knowledge that is the first time it has been.

It had gone completely under my radar; and -- along with the index/value array slices -- looks to be a really useful addition.

IMO that is probably the most useful addition since they added defined-OR back in 5.10.

    I agree with that sentiment. When you had me go back and look at the index/value array slice as well my brain started pondering on all the code I've written in the past year that I could have written to exploit that and $virtue_of_laziness++.
