in reply to Something eq hashref key

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, maybe you could provide a few more examples of what should be true and what should be false, but are you perhaps looking for exists? As in: if ( exists $fields->{field1} )

    On a side note, it's a pity we can't use exists on hash slices ...

    DB<9> exists @h{"a","z"} exists argument is not a HASH or ARRAY element or a subroutine at (eva +l 18)...

      In a recent thread it was shown that hash slices are not faster than maps, exists on hash slices is not needed.

      sub slex { my $h = shift; return map { exists $h->{$_} || 0 } @_ } my %h = map { $_ => 1 } 'a'..'t'; my @bool = slex \%h, 'a'..'z'; print "@bool\n";
        You must be joking! (?)

        The benchmark was about non intuitive performance of constant lists.

        Slices are 5 times faster than maps in this example, and the overhead of join is still included

    Thank you so much, haukex.

    Yes, "exists" is what I was looking for.

    Thank you for the enlightenment :))
