Re^2: Matching against list of patterns

What is so scary about hashrefs?

And I don't know how to create and use such beast, how can I figure out which re of join "|" , @res matched?

And wouldn't that strain our re engine too much (we're talking about scalability here, will hardware improvements keep such code running with number of patterns and lines to parse linearly growing? )

What is so scary about hashrefs? Absolutely nothing. But anything that you use as a hash key gets converted into a string. And that means that when you pull the keys back out you can no longer use them as hash references - which is what you seem to be doing. Can you show us the code that builds your %$users hash? -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
