in thread setting hash keys by array

Did your $ptr = 1 line really work on your machine? It didn't on mine.

At least your new code is correct... ;) BTW, if you use the -1 index on array, you don't need to shift @array in the loop -- that's the version I'd prefer in production code.

Anyways, it was just fun looking at alternatives. It's not often I see a clean use of type globs!

    Oops. I wrote the while version first and forgot to change the shift into a plain $_ when I copypasted. Fixed.
