I've added seekable and reversible hash iteration to Tree::RB. Here is an example:

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Tree::RB;

my $tied = tie(my %capital, 'Tree::RB');
%capital = (
    France  => 'Paris',
    England => 'London',
    Hungary => 'Budapest',
    Ireland => 'Dublin',
    Egypt   => 'Cairo',
    Germany => 'Berlin',
);

say 'Countries starting from Germany:';
$tied->hseek('Germany');
while(my ($key, $val) = each %capital) {
    say "key: $key, val: $val";
} 

say "\nCountries in reverse:";
$tied->hseek({-reverse=> 1});
while(my ($key, $val) = each %capital) {
    say "key: $key, val: $val";
}

Output:

Countries starting from Germany:
key: Germany, val: Berlin
key: Hungary, val: Budapest
key: Ireland, val: Dublin

Countries in reverse:
key: Ireland, val: Dublin
key: Hungary, val: Budapest
key: Germany, val: Berlin
key: France, val: Paris
key: England, val: London
key: Egypt, val: Cairo

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
