Re^16: Why? (each...)

The context is actually "I still am fuzzy about the difference between “square brackets,” “braces,” and “parentheses.”".

You said parens indicate a list, so that would mean %hash should be used.

sub g { return  { ... } }
sub h { return  { ... } }

my %hash = (f ? g : h);

I took the context to be like how it was used in the OP -- i.e. something like "When declaring and initializing hashes (%) and arrays (@), do I use {}, [], or () to assign the values?". Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

One never uses `{}` or `[]` to initialise a hash or array. No need to make stuff up about `()`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
