in reply to remove multiple indexes from an array

Does
my %fullhash = (@fulllist);
really work? I'd rather use:
my %fullhash = ();
@fullhash(@fulllist) = ();
my @fulllist = keys %fullhash; # maybe sort keys

if the listorder doesn't matter

Best regards,
perl -e "print a|r,p|d=>b|p=>chr 3**2 .7=>t and t"

    Hashes can be constructed from lists. In fact, that's what the following is doing: 
    my %hash = (
    a => 1,
    b => 2,
);

    => is just a comma that quotes the word just to its left, if it's unquoted. :-)

      Gotcha!

      Run the following from a file. Run it from an eval. 

      use strict;
my @strange = (explain
  => "this");
print @strange;

      Yes, this is a bug. Fixed in bleadperl. :-)
