Say it with me:

{ 'hashes', 'are', 'curly', 'ones' }

[ 'arrays', 'are', 'square' ]

( 'lists are round' )

using and understanding strict/warnings cuts your development time in half! 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;
my %ro =  {
            (
                1 => "j",
                2 => "b",
            ),
            (
                1 => "p",
                2 => "b",
            ),
        };


my %sham =  (
            (
                1 => "j",
                2 => "b",
            ),
            (
                1 => "p",
                2 => "b",
            ),
        );


my %bo =  {
            {
                1 => "j",
                2 => "b",
            },
            {
                1 => "p",
                2 => "b",
            },
        };

dd \%ro;
dd \%sham;
