in reply to join should polymorph on hashes

Are you aware of the other common idioms for this sort of thing? 
%hash = (%hash, @more);

%hash = (%hash, %more);

@hash{@keys} = @values;

Your hash join can be rewritten in the first form, though I usually try to arrange things so that the last one is possible.

    How are any of these creating a string representation of hash contents?

      I read your node as using join to append a list to hash. Now that I look at the names you chose for your hash keys, I can see what you meant more clearly; though I hadn't bothered to consider the names because I don't forsee any Perl built-ins using named parameters.
