I mean, when I do `do $file`, Perl would read the entire data structure at once and overwrite hash keys with the last value it reads. I wish there was a way for me to traverse through the data structure (which Perl would be doing internally to be able to find key collisions) manually.	[reply]

It's correct that `do file` means `slurp` + `eval` but your data only defines an anonymous hash on the top level. `{ alpha => { beta => { gamma => theta, delta => lambda, }, beta => { gamma => zeta, }, }, },` [download] you need to add a variable name!

How can I manually `slurp + eval` if I have a named hash?	[reply] [d/l]
