that how perl has been identified that it has to go for Array or Hash Autovivification?
Autovivification is the creation of a variable by a dereference when the variable being dereferenced is undefined.
Perl knows what to create based on the kind of deference used.
- If you have an array element dereference ($$r[$i], $r->[$i]), it'll create an array.
- If you have an hash element dereference ($$r{$k}, $r->{$i}), it'll create a hash.
- If you have an array dereference (@$r), it'll create an array.
- If you have an hash dereference (%$r), it'll create a hash.
- etc.

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).
