Like Paul said, the hash is being treated as an array slice returning the values for "jeevan" and "Sarika". > > my %hash = (jeevan=>'Ingake', Sarika =>'Bere'); > my @star = %hash{jeevan, Sarika}; > print @star; > The array assignment line produces an error cos the syntax is telling perl to unwind the entire hash (key-value pairs) but you're passing keys to hash which under normal use will return the values. To get the key-value pairs into @star use: my @star = %hash; @star will now contain the key-value pairs (Sarika, Bere, jeevan, Ingake) but the pairs wont be in any particular order. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
