Is the 'Passing by Named Parameter' recipe (Recipe 10.7), from the Perl Cookbook of no use ?

e.g. 

use data::Dumper;

sub some_sub {
  my $args = {
    first_name => '',
    surname    => '',
    @_
  };
  print Dumper $args;
}

some_sub qw/Edward Lear/;

[download]
will return something along the lines of... 
$VAR1 = {
          first_name => 'Edward',
          surname    => 'Lear',
        };

[download]

It's what I tend to use ...

Update Thanx to massa who pointed out the obvious error in my example code: 

some_sub qw/Edward Lear/;

[download]
doesn't call the sub with named parameters, had it read: 
some_sub first_name => 'Edward', surname => 'Lear';

[download]
it would.
Thanx again massa.

HTH ,

At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))
