===Hash===
<lang perl>
Definition:
my %hash = (foo => "bar", baz => 55, herp => "derp");
<lang perl># using => key does not need to be quoted unless it contains special chars
print $hash{foo}; # prints "bar"
my %hash = (
</lang>
key1 => 'val1',
'key-2' => 2,
three => -238.83,
4 => 'val3',

# using , both key and value need to be quoted if containing something non-numeric in nature
my %hash = (
'key1', 'val1',
'key-2', 2,

Use:
