Since almost all hashes and arrays I make end up getting passed to
subroutines, I usually just create them as refs. This has the
(slight) benefit having a consistent point of dereference in mainline
code and subroutine code instead of having to remember to move the
arrow around. Also foo($this) looks nicer that foo(\%that).
RefFoo
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my %rgbs = (
yellow => { r => 0xff, b => 0, g => 0xff, },
magenta => { r => 0xff, b => 0xff, g => 0, },
);
print "$rgbs{yellow}->{r}\n";
foo(\%rgbs);
sub foo {
my $rgbs = shift;
print "$rgbs->{yellow}{r}\n";
}

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).
