Re: Re: Re: Mapping array over a hash

looks like because they're being evaluated in list context - but I don't even know what vivification is, let alone autovivification

I'm off to look it up.

update: hell, I can't even spell it!

update2: found a useful article here - turns out I do most of this already - I just didn't know what it was called!

update3: for supersearch: "what is autovivification?" and for muppets like me in the supersearch "what is autovivication?"

"Argument is futile - you will be ignorralated!"

I was criticizing the use of the term "auto-vivify" -- merely creating entries in a hash by assigning values to them is not auto-vivifying. The process of these entries coming into being because their existence was implied is autovivification. _____________________________________________________ Jeff `japhy` Pinyan: Perl, regex, and perl hacker. `s++=END;++y(;-P)}y js++=;shajsj<++y(p-q)}?print:??;`	[reply]
