Well, if you're not using the key, don't ask for it:

$foo->$_ for values %Movement;

I must admit I'd assumed that dragonchild was using the key, but had omitted it from the example code for the sake of simplicity. Why use a hash at all, otherwise? But I shouldn't make assumptions without mentioning them. Your code is very neat and concise, but if the hash is large, it may be impractical to dump all the values onto the stack. `each` really has much nicer semantics, even if it's slightly more cluttered syntactically. Of course, when we get lazy lists in Perl 6 we might be able to have both at once :-)	[reply]
