Re: Bulk hash population order

Update: what was I thinking!

~~It seems simpler just to omit %bighash from the right-hand side of the assignment:~~

%bighash = (
     'C' => 'some new value',
     'D' => 4
);

Assigning to a whole hash (`%hash = LIST`) clobbers the existing contents; what he's trying to do is append and/or overwrite new contents. Your code has now clobbered the rest of the contents of `%bighash` and it only has those two keys rather than replacing just the old pairs for the keys `C` and `D`.
