in thread how to avoid mis-spelling hash keys?

I think doing approximate string matches for hash keys in objects would be the programmer's equivalent to playing Russian Roulette. Bad idea.

    Well, if there is an exact match, it's no roulette. There are quite simple techniques to verify a hash key actually exists. In fact, like janx noted above, there's Tie::Hash::Approx by our very own OeufMayo which does pretty much just that :)

    Tie::Hash::Approx - Approximative match of hash keys using String::Approx
