# This is the goal #%Belfast_car_dealer_hash = ("Toyota"=> 1, # "Chrysler" => 1); # "Ford" => 1);

The following will initialize your hash the way you want:

my %Belfast_car_dealer_hash = map { $_ => 1 } @dealers[1,3,4];

Dumper output of %Belfast_car_dealer_hash:

$VAR1 = { 'Chrysler' => 1, 'Toyota' => 1, 'Ford' => 1 };

Update: Added [1,3,4] to limit key creation.

My apologies; I believe I've misunderstood. What about using a hash of arrays, where the key is the city and the value is a reference to an array of dealers? Perhaps this data structure would be helpful:

use strict; use warnings; my @dealers = ( "Nissan", "Toyota", "Tesla", "Chrysler", "Ford", "Gene +ral Motors" ); my %citiesDealers = ( 'Belfast' => [ @dealers[ 1, 3, 4 ] ], 'Dublin' => [ @dealers[ 2, 3, 0 ] ], 'Cork' => [ @dealers[ 0, 3 ] ], 'Derry' => [ @dealers[ 1, 4, 2 ] ], 'Tralee' => [ @dealers[ 2, 1, 0, 5 ] ] ); print $_, "\n" for @{ $citiesDealers{'Belfast'} };

Output:

Toyota Chrysler Ford

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.
