Hello! I've spent one whole day to find out what can I do with the "symbol table" hash-es to work as I expected. I want @namespace::{key1,key2} return the ($namespace::key1,$namespace::key2) list, but it only returns references to that. Is it a bug or a feature? Why it is not working as similar sub-hash-es? I solved the problem with "map { $$_ } @namespace::{key1,key2}" but I am not sure that this is a "clean" solution. I am afraid of perl changes, it may not work in future releases. Is it a better (and cleaner) way to do things like this? Please answer to my email address (dlux at dlux.hu) too, because I am not on the perl5-porters list. dLux -- This message is READ-ONLYThread Next
