Here's my problem (well, a shortened example=)
#hashes.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my %a=(a=>1, b=>2, c=>3);
print Dumper \%a;
print "\n".("-" x 10)."\n";
my $c=$a{d}->[0];
print Dumper \%a;
$ perl hashes.pl
$VAR1 = {
'c' => 3,
'a' => 1,
'b' => 2
};
----------
$VAR1 = {
'c' => 3,
'a' => 1,
'b' => 2,
'd' => []
};
Now, while I'd expect a warning on the line of my $c=$a{d}->[0]; (like,
dunno, you're trying to dereference undef?) I'd never think a field is
added to the hash...
I'm confused.. Is this expected behaviour? Changing a right-hand operand
(without calling a sub)?
cheers
