in thread My 'perldar' tells me there is a 'better' solution for this list operation
A couple of quick examples may make it easier to understand what a hash slice is doing. This code:
@hash{"one", "two", "three"} = 1 .. 3;
Is equivalent to:
($hash{one}, $hash{two}, $hash{three}) = 1 .. 3;
And likewise, these are equivalent:
my @list = @hash{"one", "two", "three"};
and
my @list = ($hash{one}, $hash{two}, $hash{three});
