Re: Retrieving an anonymous hash

Following up on what TomDLux said, another way of not copying the hash is to use type globs.

 #Turn OFF use strict
 local *tempHash = $arrayOfHashes[0] ;
 # Now you can access $tempHash{whatever}

Offense, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a fantasy.
By guaranteeing freedom of expression, the First Amendment also guarntees offense.

#Turn OFF use strict Manipulating typeglobs is perfectly legal under strict, it's trying to treat strings as typeglobs thats illegal.	[reply]

Actually you need to turn OFF strict when you USE the local variable, otherwise, you get `Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name at blah ...` [download] To minimize exposure, it should be coded thus: `no strict qw(vars); ## Accessing code here ... use strict qw(vars);` [download] Offense, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a fantasy.
