I hope that no one reads your node and gets the idea that hash slices are somehow exotic. They aren't. Substituting in a loop is baby perl and while there there are places where that is appropriate and good, there are plenty of places choosing slower but simpler for newbies isn't the right decision. Personally, I'd never consider the looped version "correct" unless there was a really good reason to use the other version.

Also, did you mean to link to anything in particular with each of your [linked] nodes? Maybe you meant to make them [google://Google.com links]?
