[CLOSED] Dereference hash into hashes by key

mlodato has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

O Wise Ones,
Is there a one-line way to do something along the lines of:

  my $hash = {
    key1 => 'value1',
    key2 => 'value2',
  };

  my ($hash1, $hash2) = _insert_perl_magic_;
[download]

Such that then $hash1 becomes {key1 => 'value1'} and $hash2 becomes {key2 => 'value2'}?

The closest I've gotten is:

    my @hashes = map { {$_ => $hash->{$_}} } qw(key1 key2);
    my ($hash1, $hash2) = @hashes;
[download]

But it doesn't seem to work in one line (probably because of some lazy generation or something (I confess I don't truly understand how map works)

What exactly did you try? `my ($hash1, $hash2) = map { {$_ => $hash->{$_}} } qw(key1 key2);` [download] works for me. How did you check the content of `$hash1` and `$hash1` afterwards? Perhaps you had it right but didn't see it...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There is no reason why your own solution shouldn't work in one line, if it works in two. Could you please reproduce the problem? What do you get? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Well this is embarrassing. I scrolled back through my repl history and saw that I had typed `($hash1, $hash1) = ...` Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]
