Solution: Either go through the whole hash, or rewind it after using each:
I once worked on a largish codebase that had this as the cause of several bugs in various places. We ended up using variations of things like:
sub foreach_pair (&\%) {
my ($coderef, $hashref) = @_;
local ($a, $b);
keys %$hashref;
while ( ($a, $b) = each %$hashref ) { $coderef->($a, $b) };
};
my %foo = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3);
# if you don't mind remembering what $a and $b are
foreach_pair { print "$a == $b\n" } %foo;
# or if you prefer being explicit
foreach_pair { my ($name, $value) = @_; print "name $name is $value\n"
+ } %foo;
To avoid the problem and make things a bit more explict.

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).
