Re: Arg passing trick that fails in perl 5.8

As pfaut hinted at - what's the problem with using a simple hash?

sub not_at_all_odd_args {
    my($this, %args) = @_;
    print $args{x},"\n";
}

This will work the same on any version of Perl 5.

Makeshifts last the longest.

There is nothing wrong with a simple hash in my book, but this particular programmer has developed a style where he will never use a simple hash or array when he can use a reference instead. He thinks it simplifies the syntax.	[reply]
