In the example below, I want to know what names are used for referencing that start with "TH" and their values. (i.e. THATCODE, THISCODE, etc...)

Hi Sacco. 

$rec = {

    TEXT      => $string,
    SEQUENCE  => [ @old_values ],
    LOOKUP    => { %some_table },
    THATCODE  => \&some_function,
    THISCODE  => sub { $_[0] ** $_[1] },
    HANDLE    => \*STDOUT,
};

my %hash = %$rec;

while ( ( $key, $value ) = each %hash ) {
  print "$key = $value\n" if( $key =~ /^TH/ );
}

Output: 
C:\>perl p14.pl
THISCODE = CODE(0x155ad54)
THATCODE = CODE(0x155ac40)

The CODE(address) indicates a subroutine. If you wanted to look for keys that did not begin with 'TH', you could use the following program: 

$rec = {

    TEXT      => $string,
    SEQUENCE  => [ @old_values ],
    LOOKUP    => { %some_table },
    THATCODE  => \&some_function,
    THISCODE  => sub { $_[0] ** $_[1] },
    HANDLE    => \*STDOUT,
};

my %hash = %$rec;

while ( ( $key, $value ) = each %hash ) {
  print "$key = $value\n" if( $key !~ /^TH/ );
}

Output: 
C:\>perl p14.pl
TEXT =
SEQUENCE = ARRAY(0x15550f0)
LOOKUP = HASH(0x15551b0)
HANDLE = GLOB(0x155a5c4)

Hope this helps,
