Thanks for taking time to comment, ZZamboni. I really should have phrased my "p.s." something like :
p.s. I played a bit with a module that facilitates Hash insertion order retrieval, but couldn't make it work. Wish I could remember the module - stumbled across it somewhere in O'Reilly Perl CD Bookshelf.
It's as likely or more that I had bad syntax than a down-level Perl incompatibility. Is nothing important to me at the moment. By the time I expect to pick it back up, hope to be on Debian 2.2 with a newer $^X$]

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.
