in thread Implicit references? module -> feature -> pragma -> "Perl8" ?

%record sucks if you are processing lots of different data. id is just an example. And yes, 90% of that indead stems (indirectly) from DBI related $sth->fetchrow_hashref ()s, so I likely will have ($tab1, @tab1, %tab1), ($tab2, @tab2, %tab2) etc all eventually combined into the final %rec (or similar).

Anyway, TIMTOWTDI and I LOVE the possibility to do it like this, cause it is easy to *my* mind. (and being the only perl programmer dealing with the code, I can do whatever I want, and thus I am always right and do not have to argue!)


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    and since I'm proposing a pragma protecting legacy code, you are free to keep it this way.

    update

    but I still kind of doubt you are processing a DB.table called "ID".
