I find myself missing this feature with some regularity, I would really like to have this. One question I do have: what should it do with nonexistent keys? E.g. my %first = (a => 1, b => 2); my %second = %first{qw/a c/}; Should %second now contain «c => undef», not no c at all? I think I'm currently leaning towards the latter, it seems like the more useful behavior to me. LeonThread Previous | Thread Next
