Wow, my compliments. The very first time that using Data::Dumper actually
may do something useful (formats the data more nicely). Still, why you are
passing a reference is beyond me.

Excuse me? If (using the same examples as for your Python section)
print "Mary is $a{mary}";
delete $a{vicky}; print %a;
print keys(%a);
exists $a{mary};
is too complex for your to cover, then I strongly suggest you stop posting
your "explanations".
