You said:
while (my $key = shift @keys and my $value = shift @values) {
$hash{$key} = $value;
}
And your code stops too quickly if either the key or the value is false.
You updated:
while (defined (my $key = shift @keys) and defined(my $value = shift @
+values)) {
$hash{$key} = $value;
}
But even adding the defined test as you did doesn't help.
Consider @keys = (1, 2, undef, 3, 4);. You'll never get to
3 or 4.
What would work is:
while (@keys and @values) {
$hash{shift @keys} = shift @values;
}

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).
