it is a syntax error.
Depends on your version of Perl. It's called a index-value slice. It returns key,val,key,val,...
Really? In which release of perl did that work then?:
C:\test>\perl5.18\bin\perl -E"my %h=1..10; my $r = \%h; print %{ $r }[
+ 1,2 ];"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "}["
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
C:\test>\perl5.18\bin\perl -E"my @a=1..10; my $r = \@a; print %{ $r }[
+ 1,2 ];"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "}["
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
Or is this a preview of Yet Another Mis-Feature that'll have to be deprecated in a year or so?
It will be sad indeed to see Perl die as a result of self-inflicted injuries.
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
