in reply to Re^3: use fields;
in thread use fields;

I know that. It worryes me that after month or year Perl developers team will decide to forbid using pseudo hashes.

So, I'm trying to find a way to produce a good code, probably without problems in the future.

    Did you read the documentation for the fields pragma? It specifically mentions the differences between the pseudo-hash version for 5.8.x and lower, and the pseudo-hash free version for 5.9.x and higher. This distinction is made because, in 5.9.x and higher, pseudo-hashes will be gone. So, as long as you use fields;, and use fields::new, you should be safe, according to the documentation.

      And using fields::new is supposed to make the warning go away in most circumstances.
