Re: Autovivification in perl

Without autovivification,

$quick[0][3]

$ref->{Oxford}{Ram}{Population}

$hash{ram}{mohan}{perl}{linux}
[download]

would have to be written as follows:

( $quick[0] //= [] )->[3]

((( $ref //= {} )->{Oxford} //= {} )->{Ram} //= {} )->{Population}

((( $hash{ram} //= {} )->{mohan} //= {} )->{perl} //= {} )->{linux}
[download]

Which do you prefer?
