Need Help??

in reply to another 'array to hash' question

Normally doing this is not good practice. If you need the variable names, then you should most likely use a hash.

Here is an example of using an array to build a hash, which may help you, based on the title of your post.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;

my @keys   = qw( fn ln age ); 
my @values = qw( Joe McCarty 89 );

my %hash;
@hash{@keys} = @values;

print Dumper \%hash;
