in reply to Get AoH values into array

Loops solve in linear time with the number of elements tested. Generally, you don't need to worry about the inefficiencies of single loops, unless you are processing huge data sets.

Worry about loop inefficiencies when you have loops inside loops and your solution time is quadratic (N2).

Or worse.

    Thank you monks

    I'm not worried about the inefficiency of loops, my data set is not large. It was just that once I learned that I can put 2 arrays into a hash like this

    my %h;
@h{@a}=@b;

    I sort of hoped there were other loop avoiding constructs to learn.. Loops are so c.
