better way to create array of hashes 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I have a Comma Separated Value , constant, I wish to create and array of each value which is a hash value pair.

I'm currently using the following code and it works fine, I just get a feeling there is a better way

my @reg_type = split(/,/,REG_TYPE);
for(@reg_type){
    $_ = {'Regulation' => $_};
}

cheers, 1DMF

Maybe...

map {
   $_ = {Regulation => $_};
} @reg_type;

hmm I thought I could incorporate the split into it also, from what I understand the 'map' command internally just does a for loop anyhow, so not sure it's saving any overhead :-(

map" in a void context? Yeuch!!

How about:

my @reg_type = map +{Regulation => $_}, split(/,/,REG_TYPE);

?
