Localising does give you a local iterator. Try this code:
%a = ( A=>0, B=>1, C=>2 );
%b = %a;
print each %b, "\n";
{ local %b = %a; each %b; }
while(($k,$v)=each %b) { print $k, $v, "\n" }
Then, try this:
%h = ( A=>0, B=>1, C=>2 );
print each %h, "\n";
() = %h;
print each %h, "\n";
The problem with local %h = %h is not that the local copy shares the iterator, but that the original %h gets its iterator reset by being read. This is mentioned briefly in the documentation for the each function.

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).
