The following loop does not terminate:
# endless loop here
while(my ($r,$s) = each(%{ {x=>5,y=>8}})) {
print($r);
};
The idea here is to denote the hash verbatim, without introducing a new variable, but this doesn't work. I believe the reason is that on each the hash constructed anew, and $r never advances to the next element. Of course I could code it like this:
# this works
my $h={x=>5,y=>8};
while(my ($r,$s) = each(%{ $h })) {
print($r);
};
(or don't use references at all), but my question is: Is it possible to code this loop without naming the 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).
