Hi, I have a sample code
######################################################## #!/usr/bin/perl -w %states = ( "California","Sacramento", "Wisconsin","Madison", "New York", "Albany"); print "Capital of California is " . $states{"California"} . "\n\n"; ######################################################## I did not understand the statement $states{"California"} in the above print statement of the code I know the the dot is a concatenation operator and \n is a newline character Thanks in Advance. Thanks and Regards Kaushal
