define your own hgrep!

$a=key
$b=value

  DB<142> sub hgrep (&%) { 
           my $f=shift; 
           my @res;
           local ($a,$b); 
           while ( ($a,$b)= splice(@_,0,2) ) { 
             push @res, $a => $b  if $f->() 
           }
           return @res 
          }

  DB<143> %h = ( cat=>0, cut=>1, caty=>2 )
 => ("cat", 0, "cut", 1, "caty", 2)

  DB<144> hgrep { $a =~ /^cat/ } %h
 => ("cat", 0, "caty", 2)

  DB<145> hgrep { $b>1 } %h
 => ("caty", 2)

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.
