Re: "Using a hash as a reference is deprecated" -- Baloney !

[ikegami]

Due to a bug in Perl,

%foo->{bar}

gets interpreted as a

(\%foo)->{bar}

->{bar} expects a reference, and thus a scalar, so it should be interpreted as

scalar(%foo)->{bar}

The deprecation warning was added in anticipation of getting this bug fixed.

Since

%{$WAI->getMem()}->{'MemTotal'}

is getting interpreted as

\%{$WAI->getMem()}->{'MemTotal'}

you could use that, or you could shorten it to

$WAI->getMem()->{'MemTotal'}

Now where's this baloney you promised? I'm hungry!

Update: Fixed bad curlies matching in second half.

Awesome. Excellent explanation, I had no idea this was a planned bugfix. Thanks everyone ! Here's the promised "baloney" :)

Balogna ("baloney") and cheese:
