Re^2: Thoughts on replacing -> with .

I find that many people do something like:

$var->{key1}->{key2}->{key3}
[download]

when the following should suffice:

$var->{key1}{key2}{key3}
[download]

I’m one of those people, and I’m not entirely sure why I do it. I’m fully aware that the later arrows are optional. The one arrow notation feels a bit asymmetric, and it doesn’t show that they all are refs in there, I guess.	[reply]

I usually write `${${$$var{key1}}{key2}}{key3}`, or, very rarely `$$var{key1}{$key2}{$key3}` or an intermediate variant. I never use arrow dereferencing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Those are particularly unusual ways of doing it. But hey, TIMTOWTDI.	[reply]
