The CPAN module Tie::DxHash will allow you to make a hash that retains the order the keys were entered, and allows duplicate keys as well. Here's a short example to show you how simple it's usage is:
An interesting thing to note is that in the assignment to %hash the duplicate keys are not clobbered. You can then iterate over this hash using while/each or a foreach/keys, and the elements will be returned in the order they were inserted into the hash.
