How do I initialize values in a hash without a loop?

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to initialize a hash without having to go through a loop. I was hoping to use slices for that, but it doesn\'t seem to produce the expected resul

Answer 1

use strict;
use warnings;  # Must-haves

# ... Initialize your arrays

my @fields = ('currency_symbol', 'currency_name');
my @array = ('BRL','Real');

# ... Assign to your hash

my %hash;
@hash{@fields} = @array;
