Rules:

You can assume all the code above the counting line.
Bonus points if you run under strict and warnings.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

If you convert my answer to use short variable names and remove the ?: you get 44 relevant chars `#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890 s/(\d+):(\d+)(,\|$)/$h{$1}=$2;push(@a,$1)/ge;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Surely, `%h=/\d+/g;@a=/(\d+):/g;` would be closer to what's wanted :) duff	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not a golfer, but... `tr/:/,/;%h=eval;@a=keys%h;` Update `y/:/,/;%h=eval;@a=keys%h;` Update 2 If the ordering of @a is important, how about `@a=/(\d+):/g;y/:/,/;%h=eval;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This doesn't preserve the order of the keys. That's a problem. Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
