Re: Interchanging hash values

You are right about the negation of $pos, but adding a third argument of 0 to substr gets you something else than leaving it off. If you just want to insert instead of replace (which your original code was doing), you don't even need the or:

    substr ($string, length ($string) - $pos, 0, $insert)

will do.

Whoops! {blush} Your right. I omitted the 0 in my code too. , but it was called insert_end_relative() :) Yes! That does do the trick, at a (miniscule) cost.
