Declaring hash structures within subs that get repeatedly called is a common problem. Another solution that allows the hash to be declared on demand (if the sub may or may not be called this is good) but still only be called once is to use a closure like this:

{ my %hash; sub my_sub { unless (%hash) { %hash = ( blah ); } } } # %hash is not accessible here, this is a different one my %hash...

Doing it this way makes %hash private to the sub as the my delaration localises it to the bare block where it is accessible to the sub but not main:: per se. You start the sub by checking if the hash is populated. On the first call to the sub it will not be so you set it. From then on it will populated so you don't need to set it again during subsequent calls to the sub. Perl retains a reference to it between calls to the sub so it never gets garbage collected.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
