This is a bug report for perl from l.mai@web.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

I know that when you assign a list to hash and that list has duplicate keys,
the last one wins:

  %h = (a => 1, a => 2);  # %h = (a => 2);

But I don't see this mentioned in the documentation. I'd've expected it in
perldata.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
