An alternative method uses the each and keys functions to iterate over a hash and locate the keys. This has the advantage of coping with the more general case wher multiple instances of a value in addition to not requiring the storage of another hash.
my @keys = qw ( a b c d e f g h i j);
my @vals = qw ( 1 1 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 0);
my %hash;
@hash{@keys} = @vals;
my @ones = grep {(each %hash)[1] == 1} keys %hash;
print "@ones\n";
Inverting the hash as shown previously is a better method if you are OK with the storage overhead and you will be doing multiple retrievals.

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).
