I wanted to populate an anon array with stat from a file, with labels.... so.. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use List::MoreUtils qw(:all);
use Smart::Comments;

my @labels =qw(dev ino mode nlink uid gid rdev size atime mtime ctime 
+blksize blocks);
my @stat = stat "/tmp";
my $stat = { zip @labels, @stat};

### $stat

That works great. Prints out : 

### $stat: {
###          atime => 1156789541,
###          blksize => 4096,
###          blocks => 32,
###          ctime => 1156791103,
###          dev => 64768,
###          gid => 0,
###          ino => 2684353,
###          mode => 17407,
###          mtime => 1156791103,
###          nlink => 15,
###          rdev => 0,
###          size => 12288,
###          uid => 0
###        }

But why declare the arrays in the fist place? ...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use List::MoreUtils qw(:all);
use Smart::Comments;

my $stat = { 
 zip 
  qw(dev ino mode nlink uid gid rdev size atime mtime ctime blksize bl
+ocks),  
  ( stat '/tmp' )
}; # No! Don't like that!
 
### $stat

gives: 

Type of arg 1 to List::MoreUtils::mesh must be array (not list) at tmp
+.pl line 16, near "} }"

I can't figure out the correct way/syntax to have zip/mesh interpret these as arrays :( - Array? Not list? does this mean we must predeclare as an array?
