Re: selecting values from hash via list (slice)

[toolic]

I'm confused. Your 2 printf statements print the same thing for me. Isn't that what you want -- to use a hash slice to save typing? See Slices.

printf "%-20s %5d %s\n", $h{name}, $h{age}, $h{zone};
printf "%-20s %5d %s\n", @h{qw/name age zone/};

Oh.. dear... it works.. I thought I was making up code!

I thought this was nonsense! : printf "%-20s %5d %s\n", @h{qw/name age zone/};
