Hi! I've got a spot where I need to combine two simple arrays into a hash, with the keys of the hash being elements of the first array, and the values corresponding to those keys being the elements of the second array. To illustrate the problem, here's a brute-force implementation: 
my @a = ('one', 'two', 'three');
my @b = (1, 2, 3);
my %result;

for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@a); $i++) {
    $result{$a[$i]} = $b[$i];
}

This works, and does exactly what I want, but seems, well, "C-like". Can anyone offer me a more Perl-ish way to do this that is more esthetically pleasing?

Thanks!
