I'm playing around with references and wondered what this was: %a = {};
%a seems to be a reference to nothing? A dump gives: ("HASH(0x18737e4)", undef) I've seen the construct before somewhere and wonder how it's used. I have a handle on $p = {} and its use in objects. This %a = {} has me mystified. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
