| somian | The later the hour, the better we likes it. Not have the hot Face looking at us, no, precioussss. |
| kcbanner | mauke, yeah or %hash = (); |
| mauke | kcbanner: no, that's too efficient! |
| kcbanner | mauke, oh I didn't realize your putting me on |
| f00li5h | mauke: is it? show us 'ya figures |
| kcbanner | ya man where are the figures |
| mauke | The following (inefficiently) deletes all the values of %HASH and @ARRAY: it says so in perldoc -f delete it's documented. so if it isn't slow, it's a bug in perl. |
| f00li5h | mauke: i really don't think that something being faster than it's documented can be a bug But both of these are slower than just assigning the empty list or undefining %HASH or @ARRAY |
| mauke | the real solution is to use proper scoping, of course |
| f00li5h | mauke: scoping, which would simply undef %HASH or @ARRAY ... |
| mauke | what? |
| PimpMastahQ | can someone explain this error message i am getting when trying to install a perl module using cpan? http://pastebin.ca/391413 |
| buubot | The paste 391413 has been copied to http://erxz.com/pb/1743 |
| f00li5h | mauke: well, if it goes out of scope, it will just be undef'ed |
| mauke | only if there is no other reference to it |
| f00li5h | mauke: yes. but i fail to see how scoping can do delete @h{keys %h} otherwise |
| mauke | it doesn't have to |
| f00li5h | then what does that have to do with the delete thing earlier then? |
| mauke | if you want an empty hash, the best way is to create a new one |
| f00li5h | which has nothing to do with scoping (except that the previous hash going out of scope destroys it) |
| somian | Back for a return visit, eh, PimpMastahQ ? |
| PimpMastahQ | yeah :/ same problem |
