Re: Re (tilly) 1: grep instead of foreach?
in thread grep instead of foreach?
is using a hash-slice there. The idea is: to address
more then one entry in the hash at once. a simple example:
my %languages;
$languages{'python'} = 'boring';
@languages{'perl', 'perl6'}
= ('cool', 'real soon now');
# this is short for
( $languages{'perl'} , $languages{'perl6'} )
= ('cool', 'real soon now');
# or
$languages{'perl'} = 'cool';
$languages{'perl6'} = 'real soon now';
There are also array-slices.
