Hello monks!
I wanted to double-check something that I have noticed with you (maybe I am wrong, please bear with me). If I have a hash with keys that have special characters like
$ or
| or
., is this a problem? I am working with protein sequence data, that have IDs like the following:
>tr|Q8PV56|Q8PV56_METMA PEP-CTERM sorting domain-containing protein OS
+=Methanosarcina mazei (strain ATCC BAA-159 / DSM 3647 / Goe1 / Go1 /
+JCM 11833 / OCM 88) OX=192952 GN=MM_2118 PE=4 SV=1
Can all the above be stored as a hash key (length-wise I mean). Will there be any issue if e.g. I try to execute a command like
if exists($hash{$key})
Thank you for your guidance!
