I don't know how reliable this source is:
[http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/state_of_eight.html#Pseudo_hashes_will_d|Pseudo hashes will die], but it's not the first time i have heard
this news:
<pre>
Pseudo hashes (the strange things that appeared with
the compiler in in 5.005-or-so) will die. They're
depreciated in 5.8, and will be gone from 5.10, because
they slow down all hashes and all arrays (by about 15%,
Schwern calculates). The functionality which currently is
implemented with pseudo-hashes (fields.pm) will remain,
probably using the new restricted hashes.
