Re: Threads that return hash

Thanks a lot to all those who answered: problem solved! This is one nice thing about Perl: a large community of skilled experts who is willing to help in specific problems. I have seen that there is a voting system in this web site, but I don't know it: do I have to vote in order to say thank?

do I have to vote in order to say thank? No. You just did that :) But if you want to vote here, you have to become a member. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

Be that as it may, I just dropped 4 up-votes on this thread today, and bookmarked it on my browser. Excellent information. The OP’s right. “Contexts” (scalar, array, etc.) in Perl are one of its rather peculiar features ... full of traps sometimes for the unwary, especially when there isn’t a `warning` to alert you to their presence. But the support provided by this community is excellent indeed.
