Re: populate a hash, with limits set by user?

If it's a homework assignment, why not impress your teacher? Here's something to get you extra credit:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

print "Limit? ";
my %input = map { print "Key = Value: "; split(/=/, <STDIN>); } (1 .. 
+(<STDIN>));

print %input, "\n";

Slick. I like it. Maybe the regex should handle optional space around the = `use strict; # Of course! print "Limit? "; my %input = map { print "Key = Value: "; split /\s=\s/, <STDIN> } ( +1 .. (<STDIN>) ); use Data::Dumper; # Pretty print 8^) print Data::Dumper->Dump([\%input], ["input"]), "\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
