Re^2: structuring data: aka walk first, grok later

Thanks. I recall hitting 'autovivification' in the Alpaca book and coming away babbling of sentient Froot Loops smoking Meerschaum pipes, since I could make neither head nor tail of it ... I think I posted something about this some time ago, here on PM.

I look at it now and I can kinda wrap my mushy brain around it. I don't think this has to do with the Alpaca book being opaque (I need to go back to it, probably), but is perhaps a measure that even _I_ have learned something ... :)

In this case $DATA is a reference to an HoHoA, right?

No, in pc88mxer's node it's a reference to a HoHoH. In mine, it's (not a reference to) a HoHoA.	[reply]
