RE: (2) neither clever nor useful array vs. hash example (insertion order retrieval?)

Thanks for taking time to comment, ZZamboni. I really should have phrased my "p.s." something like :

p.s. I played a bit with a module that facilitates Hash insertion order retrieval, but couldn't make it work. Wish I could remember the module - stumbled across it somewhere in O'Reilly Perl CD Bookshelf.

It's as likely or more that I had bad syntax than a down-level Perl incompatibility. Is nothing important to me at the moment. By the time I expect to pick it back up, hope to be on Debian 2.2 with a newer $^X$]

"Maybe Tie::IxHash?" Yep, that's it - thanks for the link, ZZamboni! README says it "requires: Perl Version 5.003 or later", which shoots down my off-the-cuff guess of version compatibility problem. When I get a chance, will spend a bit more time getting syntax right.	[reply]
