Re: Iterating hashes safely and efficiently

Just out of curiousity, why would you have an iterator over a hash, then pass that hash into a function to iterate over again? That sounds like a poor design, to me ...

To satisfy your curiousity here, we are talking about a Tk application. The hash in question is mainline scoped, and the flow of execution is quite tortuous. I know it may be possible to redesign the app to use objects passed in by reference to the callbacks, but this would be a substantial piece of work.	[reply]
