Re^2: Create a hash by spliting string

[sundialsvc4]

Whereas I, being forever distrustful of data, would split the string on semicolons, and then, in a loop, split each piece separately.   And, my code would verify that each of these splits generated exactly two pieces, and it would croak if ever it did not.   So, this would not only accomplish the task of splitting the string, but also confirm that it is well-formed.

Yup... guess I’m a Perl Dork.

Hardly a dork, after all verifying your data is valid before throwing it into a structure is the correct thing to do. However I suspect our Anonymous friend isn't writing production code here
