Diffrent storage types in perl 2

[M3GAPL3X]

Nice tutorial tin_man. I just wanted to add some basic things into it.

For arrays, you can use the qw function after the array name if you don't feel like typing all the parenthesis and commas

Ex:

@stuff = ("book", "table", "lamp");

you could use:

@stuff = qw(book table lamp);

Same thing goes for hash tables. You could do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl 

%days = qw(
Sun	Sunday
Mon	Monday
Tue	Tuesday
Wed	Wednesday
Thur	Thursday
Fri	Friday
Sat	Saturday
);

print $days{Sun};

I also believe that I found a mistake in tin_man's tutorial. When you access a hash table via the print statement, you have to use a "{}" instead of "()".

Ex:

print $days{Sun};
