Assignment, bar key is assigned the value 1
my %foo; $foo{bar} = 1;

Autovivification, a hashref springs into existence under key fa , bar key is assigned the value 1

my %foo; $foo{fa}{bar} = 1;

Autovivification, you use it as a reference to a hash, , it becomes a reference to a hash

 my $foo; $foo->{bar} = 1;

Autovivification, you use it as a reference to an array, it becomes a reference to an array

 my $foo; $foo->[0]= 1;

Initialization, you declare $foo and assign a reference, you can use it as a reference, but it doesn't become a reference, because it already is a reference

 my $foo = {}; $foo = \my %bar; $foo->{fa} = 1;

Error, can only autovivify if undef, Not an ARRAY reference

 my $foo = {}; $foo->[0] = 1;

Error, can only autovivify once, Not a HASH reference

 my $foo; $foo->[0] = 'autovivified'; $foo->{autovivified} = 'already';

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
