Can any of the PERL developers on this help me write the following line of code without the use of "psuedohashes"? It will be greatly appreciated.
my $file = @_ == 2 ? $_[1] : $_[0]->{FILENAME};

what is a pseudo hash dude??
@_ as a scalar .... the number of arguments passed in to your routine ? (or maybe the ordinal number thereof)
so you're saying above: if the number of arguments pased in is two, then the $file filename is the second argument, other wise it's the 'FILENAME' item of the first argument??
I'd just do the whole thing in some more wildly simple manner. In the routine above, just get the file name in an ordinary plain variable, like $filename. and pass it in to the routine &routine( $filename, $otherstuff );
In the routine just get the argument
sub routine
{
my $use_this_filename = shift;insider perl idiom sucks ... go K.I.S.S.
