in reply to making arrays that act like hashes at runtime

You could use fields and fields::phash in particular. Documentation reads:

fields::phash() can be used to create and initialize a plain (unblessed) pseudo-hash. This function should always be used instead of creating pseudo-hashes directly.

Nevertheless, I subscribe other's advice about not using pseudohashes at all. I don't know if even the fields implementation of pseudohashes will disappear or will be the "official way" of using pseudohash-like structures.

Is there any monk that could give us an advice on this?

Thanks
