(jeffa) Re: Spliting letters in a string

Instead of using single variables (and having to get nasty with eval and forsake strict), use a hash instead:

my $str  = join('', ('a'..'p'));
my %hash = map { $_ => $_ } split('',$str); 

# silly example of using the hash
print $hash{j} . $hash{e} . $hash{f} . $hash{f} . $hash{a} . "\n";
