It's a warning, not an error. Assigning an odd number of elements to a 
hash means that you don't have a perfect (key, value) order. At least 
one key is without an explicit value. After your assignment, the last 
element in the array will become that valueless key, i.e., a key in the 
hash with an undefined value. If that's what you want, either append 
undef to the array, or turn off the warning as Heikki explained. If it 
is not what you want, you need to revisit your code, since then there 
is a bug.
