All I have just uploaded Tie::DxHash v0.91 to CPAN. Tie::DxHash preserves insertion order and allows duplicate keys. What on earth for?? Well, this helps people who are using Perl Sections (particularly with mod_rewrite) to construct more complex rules. The module's synopsis illustrates the point: use Tie::DxHash; my(%vhost); tie %vhost, 'Tie::DxHash' [, LIST]; %vhost = ( ServerName => 'foo', RewriteCond => 'bar', RewriteRule => 'bletch', RewriteCond => 'phooey', RewriteRule => 'squelch', ); You can find some previous discussion of this point in this list's archive at http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/182/2000/2/0/3371477/ For more information, see the module's POD. Hope this helps you. Any feedback gratefully accepted. Regards Kevin $"="";print"@{[&{sub{($i,$j,@_)=(1,1,split//,'hrP kc eeatenltarohsr u,J'); while(@_){foreach(1..$i){@_=(pop,@_)}push@t,shift;($i,$j)=($i+$j,$i)}@ t}}]}\n"; Anything which follows this line was added after I sent the mail. ================================================================= Visit our website at http://www.ubswarburg.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
