in thread how to avoid mis-spelling hash keys?
I don't know how reliable this source is:
Pseudo hashes will die, but it's not the first time i have heard
this news:
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.
jeffa
mmmmm ... restricted hashes
