Re: Re: Problem with constant pragma and some hash definitions

Another way around this is

my %generator_lookup = (
    E_MESYSTEM                  , 'G_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_ID',
    E_MEENTITY                  , 'G_ENTITY_ENTITY_ID',
);

The comma operator does not quote the lefthand side like => does. Just as a side note, I did notice that vim correctly color coded the source when I cut and pasted your code. The constants where correctly colored as quoted strings when I pasted them in, when I changed the => to , the E_MESYSTEM and E_MEENTITY changed color indicating they where not quoted strings. That is very useful.

Avoiding the fat comma doesn't help in the case of hash lookups though. And, since you have to write it as `$generator_lookup{&E_MESYSTEM}` when looking it up, you might as well put the ampersand in when initializing it too, even if only for the sake of consistency. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]
