Thanks, your script enticed me to explore different ways of
constructing a hash table. I dimly recall something about map having
access to an index variable, but couldn't find it documented so maybe
I was dreaming. The process of figuring out these approaches
highlighted that so much perl6 documentation on the web is outdated. I
guess what the perl6.org site needs is more examples. Rosettacode was
also useful.
#!/usr/bin/env perl6
#`{
Hashes do not print in the order they are created. it is a Perl 6 thing.
To overcome this, create an index of the hash.
}
my @SmtpIndex =
qw[ DebugTrace smtp port username password from to Subject Text FileName ];
my %Smtp =
[ "{ @SmtpIndex[0] }" => "1",
"{ @SmtpIndex[1] }" => "smtps://smtp.zoho.com",
"{ @SmtpIndex[2] }" => "465",
"{ @SmtpIndex[3] }" => 'la...@zoho.com',
"{ @SmtpIndex[4] }" => "NaYukYukYuk",
"{ @SmtpIndex[5] }" => 'la...@zoho.com',
"{ @SmtpIndex[6] }" => @['cu...@zoho.com','m...@zoho.com'],
"{ @SmtpIndex[7] }" => "Stooges",
"{ @SmtpIndex[8] }" => "Certainly!",
"{ @SmtpIndex[9] }" => @[""] ];
sub output(%hash, @index=@SmtpIndex) {
for @index -> $key {
printf "%10s = %s\n", $key, %hash{$key};
}
}
my @SmtpValues = %Smtp{@SmtpIndex};
my %Smtp2 = do {
my $index = 0;
@SmtpValues.map: { "{ @SmtpIndex[$index++] }" => $_ };
};
my %Smtp3 = gather for 0..@SmtpIndex.elems-1 {
take @SmtpIndex[$_] => @SmtpValues[$_].Str;
};
my %Smtp4 = @SmtpIndex Z=> @SmtpValues;
# These are all equivalent
# output(%Smtp);
# output(%Smtp2);
# output(%Smtp3);
output(%Smtp4);
