Re^3: Frontier::Client mystery result string hash

Tricky! Even the camel book harly touches on the * operator, relegating it to 'supported in C' in the index... I settled on the decidedly untricky:

  $geocode = $result->[0];
  print "Match: lat=$geocode->{'lat'} long=$geocode->{'long'}\n";

It's not a operator. It's a variable-type sigil like $, @, % and &. It refers to an entry in the symbol table. While manipulating the symbol table (as I did) is an advanced topic, it is well documented.	[reply]
