Re: Mini-Tutorial: Dereferencing Syntax

It's also worth noting that the following are two completely different things.

@hash{'key1', 'key2'}

$hash{'key1', 'key2'}
[download]

The first one is basically a shorthand for:

($hash{'key1'}, $hash{'key2'})
[download]

The second one is:

$hash{join($;, 'key1', 'key2')}
[download]

... where $; is the subscript separator, which defaults to \034.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

And similarly (though not identically, certainly) for arrays.	[reply]

The difference between hash lookups and hash slices has nothing to do with references or how to use them. I shall not add such a note.	[reply]
