Can you help me in finding the most time effective way to retrieve the key-values from hash in the same sequence in which data is inserted into the hash.
But why would you want that? You can push the keys in an array as well. But you will often have a list of the keys already. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use v5.10; # say my ( @keys, %row, @rows ); while ( <DATA> ) { chomp; my ( $k, $v ) = split " ", $_, 2; $row{ $k } = $v; # unordered push @keys, $k; # ordered-1 push @rows, [ $k, $v ]; #ordered-2 } say ""; for my $k ( keys %row ) { say "$k: <$row{$k}>"; } say ""; for my $k ( @keys ) { say "$k: <$row{ $k }>"; } say ""; for my $r ( @rows ) { say sprintf "%s: %s", @$r; } say ""; __DATA__ foo-A 42 and a bit bar-B 81 or less baz-C 17 forever xxx-D xxx yyy-E yyy -- Ruud -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
