Re: difference between \() and []

You're also confusing another concept - hashes are just lists that do something special with every other value. This is why my %x = (); and my @x = (); work correctly. (=> is just a glorified comma that stringifies its LHS, in case you're wondering.)

And, it sounds like you didn't read the Camel book very closely. I'd suggest you take the time and (re)read it.

At the risk of nit picking, hashes aren't lists, they're hashes. You can assign a list to both an array and a hash and they do what you mean, but that doesn't make either of them lists.. =]	[reply]
