Re: How can POE use a hash reference like a hash?

In Perl, the arrow is optional between two subscripts. You can add one if you wish it to be there.

That node seems to agree with me: Arrows are optional between two subscripts. In `$x->[0]->[1]`, `$x` is not a subscript but both `[0]` and `[1]` are. We may remove the second arrow without changing the expression, giving `$x->[0][1]`. The arrow between `$x` and `[0]` isn't between two subscripts, however, so it is required to maintain equivalence with the original expression. `-- Rocco Caputo - http://poe.perl.org/`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
