NAME

Quote::Ref - qw for array/hash references

SYNOPSIS

use Quote::Ref;

my $aref = qa(foo bar baz);  # $aref = [ qw(foo bar baz) ]
my $href = qh(foo 1 bar 2);  # $href = { qw(foo 1 bar 2) }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the new keywords qa and qh.

qa

qa is a quoting operator like q or qq. It works like qw in that it parses its contents as a list of whitespace separated words, but instead of turning them into a list, it turns them into an array reference. That is, qa!...! works like [ qw!...! ].

qh

qh is a quoting operator like q or qq. It works like qw in that it parses its contents as a list of whitespace separated words, but instead of turning them into a list, it turns them into an hash reference. That is, qh!...! works like { qw!...! }.
