SPUG: spug: Odd number of elements in hash assignment at YYYY line XX

[Nord, Chris]

Question on the below code.  I get a PERL message, "Odd number of elements
in hash assignment at nlerg line XX".  The results of the map get populated
as keys in %hash.  Why the "Odd number..." error?

 @array_x = map m|some_pattern|, at array_y;
 %hash = @array_x;

 foreach (keys %hash){
  print "$_\n";
 }

Odd number of elements in hash assignment at nlerg line XX
line XX is %hash = @array_x;

Also tried $hash{map m|some_pattern|, at array_y} = ''; but the results of the
map do not generate a key list in the hash.
