in reply to Are array based objects fixed length?

You can used pseudo hashes to get fixed length arrays with no auto vivication.
my $p_hash=[{key=>index,key1=>index1},'value key', 'value key1'];
derefed by
$p_hash->[index]; or $p_hash->{key}
I Have just started using them and 'use fields' to get faster object access where I had big hash objects.

    I think you may have missed my point. Pixie is trying to work with whatever object representation is thrown at it, we've already made the choice of which representation(s) to use within Pixie itself.
