I want to know if there is a way to take an array and split each of its values into a key value pair on some delimiting character and then map those into key/values for a hash. &nbsp;Here is an example of the idea but it doesn't work...<br />
<br />
@a = &quot;ONE:1&quot;,&quot;TWO:2&quot;;<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%hash = map {split(/:/, $_)} @a;<br />
<br />
This would yield:<br />
<br />
$hash{ONE} = 1;<br />
<br />
$hash{TWO} = 2;<br />
<br />
But it doesn't. &nbsp;I know I can break this into a couple of steps with a loop but I resist especially since I think I've seen this done before... Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Filling a hash with map and split...

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
