I have an example from Shawn C. from another thread, presented here
out of context.  The code does just what he meant it to do.
It inverts a hash.
Just curious if there is a particular reason Shawn did not use the reverse function:
my %hash  = (
         './b/fb'        => 'fb',
         './b/c/fd'      => 'fd',
         './b/l/c/f2'    => 'f2',
         './b/g/f/r/fc'  => 'fc',
         './b/g/h/r/fb'  => 'fb'
     );
my %inv_hash = reverse %hash;

my %inv_hash = reverse %hash;
print '%inv_hash: ', Dumper \%inv_hash;

Output:
%inv_hash: $VAR1 = {
 'f2' => './b/l/c/f2',
 'fb' => './b/fb',
 'fc' => './b/g/f/r/fc',
 'fd' => './b/c/fd'
};

Note that fb has only one value.


Oh I didn't notice there were dup values. :)
