I assume this is along the lines of what you were looking for?
use strict;
use warnings;
my %ahash=(one=>1, two=>2, three=>3, foo=>'$foo');
print join(", ",
map { "'$_' => '$ahash{$_}'"} keys %ahash
), "\n";
__END__
'three' => '3', 'one' => '1', 'foo' => '$foo', 'two' => '2'
Addendum: I've chosen to use single quotes for the output rather than double quotes, for the simple reason of keeping the output more or less copy/pastable (of course, copypastability gets lost as soon as a value is actually a reference, but if that is an issue I recommend something like Data::Dumper to you). Consider this template:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %ahash = (
# PASTE HASH CONTENTS BELOW
);
print "'$_' => '$ahash{$_}', " for keys %ahash;
And you were to put in the output of my above script, it'd nicely print
'three' => '3', 'one' => '1', 'foo' => '$foo', 'two' => '2',. Had I used double quotes for the output of the original script and pasted its result into the template, I would've gotten some bothersome errors.
Global symbol "$foo" requires explicit package name at G:\x.pl line 6.
Execution of G:\x.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
Why are array so much easier to print out than hashes...geez...
I beg to differ. Just remember to read elements in pairs.
use strict;
use warnings;
my %ahash=(one=>1, two=>2, three=>3);
print join(", ", %ahash);
__END__
three, 3, one, 1, two, 2

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).
