    Hello everyone,
    I would like to know if there is a cleaner way of Merging Hash Keys
    with Arrays
    and what the correct terminology is for describing this merging.
    I find the syntax somewhat confusing since @ usually refers to an Array
    while
    % refers to a Hash

    @array = qw(1 2 3 4 5);

    #Hash Key and Array Merging...
    @VALS{@array}++;
    #OR.... @VALS{@array} = "";
    #.......fin

    print join(" ",sort keys %VALS),"\n";
    #1 2 3 4 5

    TIA,
    -gohaku
