Re: printing a hash into a table

but what im trying isn't working right now

That's hardly a complete description of the problem. Printing all the hash entries is essentially trivial with each:

while (my ($key, $value) = each %everything) {
    print "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$value</td></tr>";
}

ahh that worked thank you, is there a way to use that to print out say like the first 5 elements of the hash?	[reply]

Yes, although ordering is not a property of untied hashes. So if you just want any 5 elements add a counter: `my $limit = 5; while (my ($key, $value) = each %everything) { print "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$value</td></tr>"; last unless --$limit; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

is there a way to use that to print out say like the first 5 elements of the hash? That would probably not make too much sense, since hashes are not keeping any order. Update: fixed a typo.	[reply]
