Re: Erm? Bug or not? Weird behaviour in hash / list conversion

Intriguing...

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>perl -MO=Deparse -e"pr
+int join('|', %{{ }} = (1)x100 );"
print join('|', %{{};} = (1) x 100);
-e syntax OK

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>perl -MData::Dumper -e
+ "print Dumper( %{{ }} = (1) x 100);"
Bizarre copy of ARRAY in anonlist at C:/Perl/lib/Data/Dumper.pm line 4

Better yet... it appears to be entirely tied to the context of the hash-assignment operation, in a totally bizzare way: `[me@host]$ perl -e '$x = [%y = (1,2,1,2)];' Bizarre copy of ARRAY in anonlist at -e line 1. [me@host]$ perl -e '%y = (1,2,1,2); $x = [%y];' [me@host]$` [download] ------------ :Wq Not an editor command: Wq	[reply] [d/l]
