Untested but should be enough to give you the idea:
foreach (@array)
{
/^(\d+).*(\w+)$/;
%hash{$2} = $1;
}
- For each element in @array
- Start of line
- Capture digits to $1
- Don't capture stuff between $1 and $2
- Capture alphanumerics to $2
- End of line
- Use values captured in $1 and $2 to populate hash
Update: Long live Dot Star. The problem is simple, I believe
the solution should be too.
Update II: Ovid Just a nitpick, don't hate me for this but he
wanted the last field as key and first field as value not the other
way around. jcwren
that is a beautiful solution.

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).
