RE: How to change the value of a Hash Key

[Mallik]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your reply.

I want to accomplish some thing like this...

%hash = (
    "abc" => "mallik",
    "xyz" => "arjun",
    "mno" => "priya"
);

Need be changed to

%hash = (
    "123" => "mallik",
    "243" => "arjun",
    "532" => "priya"
);

The key value abc is changed to 123 and so on..

Hope my requirements are clear now.

Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Mallik

Did you mean something like this?

        $hash{'bar'} = $hash{'foo'};
        delete $hash{'bar'};

HTH,
