I can do this:
chomp(my $ps = `which ps`); #chomp that system-call linefeed! my %hash = (key => $ps);
But what I really want to do is something like this:
my %hash = ( key => chomp `which ps`);
(One command, no intermeditate variable) but Perl hates my syntax (and the several similar variants I've guessed at, playing with different parenthesis groupings).
Does anyone know the proper syntax?
