Interestingly, A hash in a scalar context returns some fraction.
Like, this code
@array = ( 1 .. 100 );
%hash = @array;
print scalar %hash, "\n";
prints
33/64
Can somebody help me understand what this 33/64 is?
Thanks

It means that the hash has used 33 buckets of the 64 it allocated.
Since there are 50 key/value pairs in the hash, you have some collisions.
A more useful measure of a hash's size is:
print scalar keys %hash, "\n";
