- From the keyboard of robt@is.morgan.com (Rob Torop):
- :I recently discovered that rather than using
- :
- : $a{'blah'} = 'bleh';
- :
- :I can get away with
- :
- : $a{blah} = 'bleh';
- :
- :i.e. it seems to have exactly the same effect. Is there any reason I
- :shouldn't do this?
-
- Or even
-
- $a{blah} = bleh;
-
- The problem is that Larry might make blah or bleh reserved words.
-
- I'm not very fond of autoquoted strings, personally, but I use
- them in throw-away programs. It's safer if they're not all
- lower-case, but still Unclean.
