Uh .. no.

tab@music4:~ $ perl -de 1 Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.51 Editor support available. Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help. main::(-e:1): 1 DB<1> %hash = (); DB<2> use Data::Dumper; DB<3> print Dumper(\%hash) $VAR1 = {}; DB<4> if ( exists $hash{nothing} ) { print "Wow.\n"; } DB<5> !3 print Dumper(\%hash) $VAR1 = {}; DB<6>
For me, the whole point of using exists is to avoid doing autovivification.

But the example used a two level hash .. so I answered the wrong question. Ugh.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
