PerlHash keys

2003-06-15 Thread Clinton A. Pierce

Hello! Recently I was coding Perl 5 and quite often I had to change interpolated strings or C to C or . I began to wonder, if qq strings couldn't allow sprintf-like formatting directly. I could imagine an \F escape sequence with the following syntax: :'\F' printf-format-without-% '(' expr
