Hi all, One quick Q about hashes:
they contain a key and data? e.g: %stuff=(A => 'one', B => 'two'); where A and B are keys to data one and two...but what happens if you have a massive text file wher you had one key, but 20 or 30 columns of data? do you do this: %stuff=(A => 'one', 'two', 'three'...etc? And is it true that hashes are a lot quicker than arrays? if so, how much quicker? therefore if this is the case, hashes seem like a default "storage unit" over arrays, unless you have a relatively small array you need to search?
