Re^3: HASH Array advice

That should be:

%dict =(
     label => ['label 1', 'label 2']
)

Using [ .. ] to create an anonymous array.

The advantage is that array access is much faster than hash access.

A good approch would be to code up both alternatives and benchmark them.

Slap me with a wet micro$oft t-shirt for not using `[ .. ]` Had a brain fart for a second using `( .. )` There's not much difference in the bench mark, but i suppose the size of the array makes a difference... and i predict it will become rather large as my program progresses...
