Then you probably want something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; create_hash('out_file.txt'); sub create_hash { my $filename = shift; my %hash; my @symbol = ('D'..'M'); my @protein = ( 'Aspartic Acid', 'Glutamic Acid', 'Phenylalanine', 'Glycine', 'Histidine', 'Isoleucine', 'Lysine', 'Leucine', 'Methionine', 'Asparagine', ); @hash{@symbol} = @protein; open(FILE,'>',$filename) or die "can't write $filename: $!"; while(my($key,$val) = each %hash) { print FILE "$key:$val\n"; } }
