Re: Using map to create a hash/bag from an array

The idiomatic way to do that in Perl is @hash{qw(a b c)} = (1) x 3;:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my %hash;
@hash{qw(a b c)} = (1) x 3;
print Dumper (\%hash);

Prints:

$VAR1 = {
          'c' => 1,
          'a' => 1,
          'b' => 1
        };

Except, IMHO, the hash values are irrelevant. Codewise, it's easier to use undef as hash values: your `@hash{qw(a b c)} = (1) x 3;` [download] then becomes `@hash{qw(a b c)} = ();` [download] That's a lot shorter, isn't it? And no need to count items.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
