Yes, it as the later. Like every other style it has its pros and cons. This one is pretty unusual in the Perl community as far as I can say. Plus it tends to need a lot of space, maybe my %fruit_color = ( apple => "this is too long and with a narrow monitor the comment at the end might be hard to see" , banana => "yellow" , durian_that_smelly_fruit => "short value but long key" ) ; though then the apple doesn't allign with the banana.
