Hi,

I'm pretty new to perl, so sorry for the stupid question.

I want to do a "mass initialization" of a hash. I will have several keys with the same value : 

${a}="toto"
...
${g}="toto"
${h}="titi"
...

[download]

and so on.

Is there a way to initialize multiple keys with the same value on one line ? for example smtg like: 

${a,b,c,f,t,u}='toto';
${b,g,k,p}='titi';

[download]

I can't find an easy way to do this.

Thank you all. /David
