https://www.webmaster-forums.net/crss/node/1013781 en https://www.webmaster-forums.net/serverside-scripting/perl-hash-functions#comment-1079743 <p>You wrote:</p> <p><div class="codeblock"><code>if (exists $hash($key})</code></div>'</p> <p>which has a syntax error. Perhaps you meant</p> <p><div class="codeblock"><code>if (exists $hash&lt;strong&gt;{&lt;/strong&gt;$key})</code></div>'</p> <p>Regardless, the <strong>exists</strong> function should not give you errors. Your problem is elsewhere -- perhaps you're using an older version of Perl?</p> Fri, 23 Mar 2001 18:49:58 +0000 japhy comment 1079743 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/serverside-scripting/perl-hash-functions#comment-1079737 <p>I don't know, never used it.
