Re^3: Throw compilation error(or warning) if duplicate keys are present in hash

It is a manually generated .pm file by the people who are not very much familiar with perl syntax. Hence I suspect that there might be a good chance of mistyping an existing key.

You could get those people into assigning not to %hash, but to @hash, i.e. an array instead. Later in the program, you check @hash whether a "key" occurs twice, before assigning to %hash.

Hi Ronald Yes. Absolutely we can write a piece of code to check for the existence of duplicate keys in a hash or array. But I felt like it should be present in some perl program check utilities (like use strict, use warnings). As I don't know if this facility is available in perl I posted this query to know if there some package(or pragma) available for this kind of checks.	[reply]
