How do I make a hash entry anonymous

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Turn this:

$VAR1 = { 
          'myname1' => { 
                                 'x' => '13', 
                                 'y' => '2', 
                                 'z' => '41', 
                               }, 
          'myname2' => { 
                              'x' => '6', 
                              'y' => '6', 
                              'z' => '22' 
                            } 
}

into this:

$VAR1 = { 
         { 
               'x' => '13', 
               'y' => '2', 
               'z' => '41', 
         }, 
         { 
               'x' => '6', 
               'y' => '6', 
               'z' => '22' 
         } 
}
[download]

What I did was remove the 'myname1' and 'myname2'.

Hash entries need keys. If you don't want keys, you have an array (or array reference). This might do what you want (for some value of want): `$VAR1 = [ # changed '{' to '[' { 'x' => '13', 'y' => '2', 'z' => '41', }, { 'x' => '6', 'y' => '6', 'z' => '22' } ] # changed '}' to ']'` [download] -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l]

To do it via code is extremely simple: `$VAR1 = [ values %$VAR1 ];`. This will give you an array of hashes, not a hash of hashes as you posted.	[reply] [d/l]
