TIMTOWTDI, both are fine.

IIRC old versions of Perl had limitations with map in void context, but that's history.

Some might argue that this is more readable

for my $key ( keys %hosts ) { if ( $hosts{$key} != $table_count ) { delete $hosts{$key}; } }

update

inverted unless to if

update
this works
while ( my ($key,$value) = each %hosts) { delete $hosts{$key} if $value != $table_count; }

but I'm not sure about side effects!

edit

aha -> each

If you add or delete elements of a hash while you’re iterating over it, you may get entries skipped or duplicated, so don’t. Exception: It is always safe to delete the item most recently returned by "each()", which means that the following code will work:

while (($key, $value) = each %hash) { print $key, "\n"; delete $hash{$key}; # This is safe }

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
