Re: Reference to a single array item in an array of hashes?

Why use the extra variable?

for my $i (0 .. $numTimes) {
    $jobTimes[$i] = {
         start => param("JobStart$i"),
         stop  => param("JobStop$i"),
    };
}

Because then I end up with really ugly stuff like this: `$jobTimes[$i]{'startX'} = int(($jobTimes[$i]{'start'} - $dayStart) * $ +scaleConst);` [download] When I would much rather have: `$$job{'startX'} = int(($$job{'start'} - $dayStart) * $scaleConst);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
