Why do you need to pre-allocate it ? ( Not to mention that [%hash = 10_000;] is not the proper way to do it ).

I don't think multiple keys has any bearing (I have been wrong once or twice though). > This defines 10,000 key/value pairs. > %hash = 10_000; > > How do you pre-define key/value pairs for $hash{key1}{key2}{key3} ? Not sure what you mean. Do you mean how do you statically init that hash or dynamically set it or what ? -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
