Some evaluation is done first: perl -Mstrict -MData::Dumper -wle' $_ = {0b1_0 => "A", 01_0 => "B", 0x1_0 => "C", 1_0 => "D", _1_0 => "E", *_ => "F", \_ => "G"}; print Dumper $_ ' $VAR1 = { '8' => 'B', '_1_0' => 'E', '*main::_' => 'F', '10' => 'D', '16' => 'C', 'SCALAR(0x8062850)' => 'G', '2' => 'A' }; -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
