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

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).
