[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Chris Wagner) graced perl with these words of
wisdom:
> Just for fun I did a little test.
> for (1 .. 10000) {
> my $fn = rand();
> ++$dup and next if exists $num{$fn};
> $num{$fn} = 1;
> }
> print scalar keys %num, " unique numbers. $dup duplicates produced\n";
>
Just for fun, I changed one of the lines in that to
for (1 .. 1000000) {
When I ran the modified script, I got 32768 unique numbers, with 967232
duplicates! As 32768 is a power of 2, I'm wondering if there's a limit on
the number of keys one may have in a hash.
