Re: Perl packages to convert hash refs to array refs and vice-versa?

[dorward]

Using a module for that strikes me as overkill...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

# Create an array reference to demo this
my $foo_ref = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

# Convert array ref into hash ref and display
my $bar_ref = {@{$foo_ref}};
print Dumper $bar_ref;

# Convert hash ref into array ref and display
my $new_foo_ref = [%{$bar_ref}];
print Dumper $new_foo_ref;
