( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Yet another newbie ..... (sigh)

To quote Larry Wall from the camel book: "Until you start thinking in terms of hashes, you aren't really thinking in Perl."

Okay, but how? I've had a look at other peoples' use of hashes and I'm missing something. Can anyone give a few examples (with brief explanation) on how to use hashes effectively, efficiently and in a creatively satisfying manner?

thanks.

May all beings (incl perl programmers) be happy.
