This will only work is the values are unique but all you need to do is create a reversed hash lookup table and use that:
my %h = qw( 1 2 3 4 5 6 );
my %rev_h = reverse %h;
use Data::Dumper;
print Data::Dumper::Dumper(\%h,\%rev_h);
__DATA__
$VAR1 = {
'1' => '2',
'3' => '4',
'5' => '6'
};
$VAR2 = {
'6' => '5',
'4' => '3',
'2' => '1'
};
If you can't guarantee the values are unique then you have to iterate. Use grep:
my @keys = grep{ $hash{$_} eq $find } keys %hash;

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).
