if you just wanna dump the content of a hash, just use Data::Dumper ( or even better Data::Dump)

DB<110> %hash = ("fred" => "flintstone", "dino" => undef, "barney" = +> "rubble", "betty" => "rubble"); DB<111> use Data::Dumper DB<112> print Dumper \%hash $VAR1 = { 'barney' => 'rubble', 'betty' => 'rubble', 'dino' => undef, 'fred' => 'flintstone' };

and if you really need to avoid an explicit loop, then %hash in list context will give you keys and values correctly paired.

DB<115> $length = 0 + keys %hash => 4 DB<116> printf "%10s\t=>%10s\n" x $length, %hash; barney => rubble betty => rubble dino => fred =>flintstone

though for readability I'd rather prefer

DB<123> $template = "%10s\t=>%10s\n" x (0 + keys %hash) %10s =>%10s %10s =>%10s %10s =>%10s %10s =>%10s DB<124> printf $template, %hash; barney => rubble betty => rubble dino => fred =>flintstone

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
