Generally, your hash value is larger than you key ( $hash{key}="Some

reverse this relationship? ($hash{"Some text, maybe a sentence or
two...."}='key')
Thanks!
the set of hash keys is what the computer uses to find values in the
hash, and in order to optimize your code and make searching the hash for
specific values as fast as possible, you should WANT your key to be as
short and simple as possible but still make sense when you need to debug
your code.
