Re: Bulk hash population order

Another cute way to do this is a hash-slice:

@bighash{'C', 'D'} = ('some new value', 4);

I think it's more efficient, but I haven't tested it.

Yes, a hash slice (or a loop) is the way to go, imho. Assuming you have the new values you want in `%newbits`: `@bighash{keys %newbits} = values %newbits;` [download] or `$bighash{$_} = $newbits{$_} for keys %newbits;` [download] Note that `keys` and `values` use the same order, so the above works.
