Hello ctilmes,
As long as you have the same set of hash keys, they will output in the same consistent order. (at least for the same version of perl..)
Not since v5.18.0! From perl5180delta:
By default, two distinct hash variables with identical keys and values may now provide their contents in a different order where it was previously identical.
...
The seed used by Perl's hash function is now random. This means that the order which keys/values will be returned from functions like keys(), values(), and each() will differ from run to run.
Of course, the order will remain consistent for a given, unchanged, hash variable throughout a single run of the program. But that won’t satisfy the OP’s requirements.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
