Re^3: Spot the bug

Well, I'd argue that any program for which the difference between a keys-based walk and an each-based walk is significant shouldn't be using hashes that large, not with the arrival of things like DBD::SQLite or other cheap databases.

Yes, it mattered when Perl was running on 10Mhz 1Megabyte machines, and databases were tough, so a DBM hash was a cool thing. Those are long gone. {grin}

Oh sure. But you don't always live in an ideal world. Sometimes, the data format is given, and Perl (and the programmer) just has to adapt. That's what Perl is supposed to be good at.
