Re^2: %hash print output formatting question

The OP can avoid evaluating the hash in scalar context by changing the dots to commas in the print statement:

sub print_formatted {
    print "print \%hash with other text:\n";
    print "\%hash: " , %hash , "\n\n";
}

makes perfect sense... Thanks for the tip on using commas instead!! fyi - I'm a big fan of Data::Dumper, but in this case I was being a bit lazy... Thanks again! Life is short, but it's wide -- Chuck Pyle	[reply]
