What does shift->{o} = $o; do in Perl? -


what line in subroutine mean?

shift->{o} = $o;

i know shift usualy do, don't understand in context, dash , arrow.

inside sub/method,

shift

is short for

shift(@_)

a sub call places arguments in @_. method call same, precedes arguments invocant.

if in sub called sub, assigns $o element o of hash referenced first argument.

if in sub called method, assigns $o element o of hash referenced invocant. effectively, sets attribute o of object on method called.

in process, shift removes reference @_, though suspect might of no consequence.

http://codepad.org/wmyzqlis i'd merge these 2 arrays: a = { :a => 'a', :b => 'b', :d => 'd' } b = { :a => '1', :b => 'b', :c => 'c' } into hash looks this: {:a => ["a", "1"], :b => ["b", "b"], :c => [nil, "c"], :d => ["d", nil] } this doesn't work: p a.merge(b) { |k, v1, v2| [v1, v2] } # {:c=>"c", :a=>["a", "1"], :b=>["b", "b"], :d=>"d"} it's because hash#merge call block duplicate keys. a = { :a => 'a', :b => 'b', :d => 'd' } b = { :a => '1', :b => 'b', :c => 'c' } hash[(a.keys|b.keys).map { |key| [key, [a.fetch(key, nil), b.fetch(key, nil)]] }] # => {:a=>["a", "1"], :b=>["b", "b"], :d=>["d", nil], :c=>...
