Re^3: Is there any difference between prototype % and @ ?

... an even number of arguments...
I will add a manual check.

What are you doing with the arguments subsumed under the % prototype? Well, right now you're probably just writing test code to check the behavior of the prototype, but in a 'real world' case, would you not assign these arguments to a hash? What else? If assigning an odd number of elements to a hash, Perl warns (if warnings are enabled) with no separate check necessary. Granted, the warning doesn't stem from the prototype checking system, but...

>perl -wMstrict -le
"sub H (&%) { my ($cr, %h) = @_;  $cr->(%h); }
 ;;
 H { print @_; } qw(a 1 b);
"
Odd number of elements in hash assignment at -e line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $_[3] in print at -e line 1.

not in this case, cause I want to have it as fast and memory saving as possible. thats why I'm splicing... though using indexes `$_[$i]` should be even faster... just check the post I linked in the OP Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]

> Then why create a list from the hash in the first place? It's meant to be compatible with the standard interface! You might remember that `map`, `sort` and `grep` can be chained and they always accept and return lists... Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l] [select]
