Yes, the method I described is VERY similar to Tie::IxHash, if not the same. I wrote my own implementation to see if I understood it (and did a presentation on it at YAPC 19100. Ordered hashes are slow because you totally disregard the work the hashing algorithm does to make the accesses fast. And because the setup uses those three data structures, and there's not one that maps key to value, you have to first use the hash to get key to index, and then use the array of values to get index to value. Ick.
