`values` will return an array of values from a hash. The array will be in hash-sorted order. Similarly `keys` will return an array of keys from a hash. The order of the two arrays will match. `my %hash = ( a=>1, b=>2, c=>3); my @v = values %hash; # e.g. ( 2, 3, 1 ) my @k = keys %hash; # e.g. ('b', 'c', 'a')` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You could also use the `each` function, which returns the next key and value pair of the hash, eg. `my %hash = ( 'apple' => 'red', 'banana' => 'yellow', ); while( my( $key, $value ) = each %hash ){ print "$key: $value\n"; }` [download] See each for more info.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You can also print the keys and values of a hash in the following way. `my %hash = ( '1' => 'One', '2' => 'Two', '3' => 'Three', + ); print "Key: $_ and Value: $hash{$_}\n" foreach (keys%hash);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Some examples using the "babycart" (`@{ [ ... ] }`) operator to interpolate a bit of code into a double-quoted string. `knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E ' > %hash = ( a => 1, b => 2, c => 3 ); > say qq{@{ [ values %hash ] }}; > say qq{@{ [ sort { $b <=> $a } values %hash ] }}; > say qq{@{ [ map $hash{ $_ }, sort keys %hash ] }};' 3 1 2 3 2 1 1 2 3 knoppix@Microknoppix:~$` [download] I hope this is helpful.
