The order of storage of pairs in a hash is arbitrary and nonreproducible
-
one cannot push or pop an associative array
|
@listmime = %mime; # produces a list of form (key1,value1,key2,value2 ...)
-
This list can be manipulated like any list
-
One can also create a hash by defining such a list where adjacent elements are paired so that in above example
|
|
%newmime = @listmime; # creates a hash identical to %mime
|
One can delete specific pairs by delete command so for example:
-
%fred = (key1, "one", key2, "two"); # Quotes on key1 optional
-
delete $fred{key1}; # leaves %fred with one pair (key2,"two")
