Re^3: Error: Odd number of elements in anonymous hash

Hmm, auto expansion of the hash reference makes sense, but why would it overwrite subkey1 and subkey2? Can you point me to some documentation regarding that?

Its what you would expect when hash element assignment is done more than once. After expansion, args are processed left to right. The last one "wins". `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Data::Dump qw(pp); my $subargs = {a=>1, b=>2, subkey1 => 3}; my $r = { %$subargs, subkey1 => 'subval1', subkey2 => 'subval2'}; pp $r; #prints: #{ a => 1, b => 2, subkey1 => "subval1", subkey2 => "subval2" }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Probably perlintro/perlsyn/perldata... `#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; my %foo = ( 1, 2 , 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2 ); my %bar = ( %foo, 1, 3 ); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper( \%foo, \%bar ); __END__ $VAR1 = { '1' => 2 }; $VAR2 = { '1' => 3 };` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
