That is a hash slice on the hash reference in $state. The @{...} is signaling we expect to get more than one value back, and the {qw(WORD GAMENO)} is a hash access. @{$state}{qw(WORD GAMENO)} dereferences $state, and returns the values for the keys WORD and GAMENO. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan % How can we ever be the sold short or RPI Acacia Brother #734 % the cheated, we who for every service http://japhy.perlmonk.org/ % have long ago been overpaid? http://www.perlmonks.org/ % -- Meister Eckhart -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
