This thead is discussing bad code. That I gathered. I was wondering where this example came from. I find it hard to believe it was encountered in the wild. Conceived examples work, but they aren't as good, IMO. Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }	[reply]

Perhaps, although even if it did work, it would be a lot less clear than a substr, IMO.	[reply]
