I don't have any additional uses for hashes to add, but I do have a
great hash initializer I picked up from Damian when he was in town a
few years ago (borrowing from your example):

  my @foos = qw( axxj djdj whwh ) ;
  my %is_a_foo;
  @is_a_foo{@foos} = (1) x @foos;

It runs *way* faster than the $_ aliasing does in the map (at least by
my benches). I thought that was fun when I saw it.
