Are they actually saying that you can have a list of keys ("qw(wins places shows losses)") and set the values by setting this to the list "@standings"?? Really?
Why not just try it and see?? A toy experimental program takes less than a minute to create and run. Really!
>perl -wMstrict -le
"use Data::Dump;
;;
my $self = { foo => 'bar' };
my @standings = qw(1 2 3 4);
;;
@$self{ qw(wins places shows losses) } = @standings;
;;
dd $self;
"
{ foo => "bar", losses => 4, places => 2, shows => 3, wins => 1 }

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.
