Re^3: Regarding Hashes of Arrays

do you know of a way to do complex datastructures in Perl without references?

Yes.

$hash{1,2,3,4} = 'one';
$hash{1,2,3,5} = 'two';

print $hash{1,2,3,4},$hash{1,2,3,5};
__END__

leftovers from perl4, I know, but it's still valid perl.

/me shudders at code above I still say the `->` is unnecessary, since if you're using real datastructures in Perl, the references part should be assumed. "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.	[reply] [d/l]

I agree it's unnecessary, but I stil like it. :-) I've done too much assembly programming to be able to ignore pointers, I guess. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
