Re: Getting Keys of Hash from Values

in reply to Getting Keys of Hash from Values

Or how 'bout this?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my %hash = (
   apple  => 'red',
   banana => 'yellow',
   orange => 'orange',
   lemon  => 'yellow',
);

my $value = 'yellow';

my %newhash = reverse %hash;

print $newhash{$value}, "\n";

That doesn't return all the keys if the values are not unique. According to the output either lemons or bananas aren't yellow.	[reply]
