Re^2: Hash of Regex

$VAR1 = { 'int' => 'float', 'brown' => 'yellow' };

(note to the OP) In case you wonder why this is:

my %dict = ( 'brown'      => 'yellow',
             /int(\d+)/   => 'int',
             /float(\d+)/ => 'float',
           );
[download]

is the same as

my %dict = ( 'brown'      => 'yellow',
             $_ =~ /int(\d+)/   => 'int',
             $_ =~ /float(\d+)/ => 'float',
           );
[download]

which (in this case) is the same as

my %dict = ( 'brown'      => 'yellow',
             () => 'int',
             () => 'float',
           );
[download]

which is the same as

my %dict = ( 'brown'      => 'yellow',
             'int' => 'float',
           );

Why / how did this `my %dict = ( 'brown' => 'yellow', () => 'int', () => 'float', );` [download] become this?? `my %dict = ( 'brown' => 'yellow', 'int' => 'float', );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For Perl `=>` is just a comma, and empty lists `()` are ignored when flattening lists. `perl -e' @a=(1,2,(),(),3);print "@a"' 1 2 3` [download] Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Empty elements (lists) in a list collapse, e.g. `(1, (), 2, 3, (), (), 4)` is the same as `(1, 2, 3, 4)`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
