I do not undestand. __DATA__ is a filehandle. There is no method to add a filehandle's content to a hash. In your example, though, you are using

while (<DATA>) {

which seems like iterating over the filehandle line by line. What exactly do you need? Why is adding the pairs one by one or creating a temporary hash not an option?

If adding a temp hash is the route then I can do that.

I went ahead and used the map function. Did you have something else in mind?

Did map produce the results you want? If so, post your code, then someone can tell you if there is a better way.

By the way, map adds the key/value pairs one by one--just like a while loop.
