[Israel.pm] re: Another newbie question - Hashes

[Murray Gingold]

I know a couple of good answers were posted to this, but I thought I'd add
the solution I usually use, somewhat similar to the method Gabor posted
from his notes:

my %hash ;
if (open INFILE, "<file") {
    %hash = (map {chomp; split / /, $_, 2} <INFILE>);
    close INFILE;
}
