It's just like `$hash{foo}`, except you have multiple keys. `@hash{qw( foo bar )} = (1, 2);` [download] is basically the same as `$hash{foo} = 1; $hash{bar} = 2;` [download] (I said "basically" because there is a difference. The former uses a list assignment while the latter uses two scalar assignments. List assignments don't return the same as scalar assignments. See Mini-Tutorial: Scalar vs List Assignment Operator)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$hash{foo}

@hash{qw( foo bar )} = (1, 2);

$hash{foo} = 1;
$hash{bar} = 2;
