You are right; I am seriously confused. I thought it was value =>
variable. I was wrong.
I now see the Oracle syntax matches the Perl hash assignment syntax.
The "=>" operator is helpful in documenting the

other paired elements in lists.
%hash = ( $key => $value );
login( $username => $password );
