If that's the only problem with using a hash, then you can assign a dummy
value to the 'GMM_ASSIGN_REQ' key, such as undef, or "". The problem is
you're searching an array when a hash would be simpler and faster.
If, however, you're relying on ordering, a hash might not be appropriate.
However, with the help of Tie::IxHash, which allows ordered hashes, it may
become appropriate again.
