in reply to Re: Problem generating a hashtable
in thread Problem generating a hashtable

Actually, I changed it to
my ( $key, $value ) = map { (split(/:/, $_)) [0,2] } <FILE>;
:) In fact,
(split /:/, $_ )[0] => (split /:/, $_ )[2]
does work a first time on another tab, but seems to invert the keys and the values the second time :/
