Im not sure I understand the inconsistancy. I performed similar operations on both, a hash and an array and I found the results as expected. Using the following code. 


#!/usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;

my %hash = ( b => bell, c => cell, d => dell, f => fell, h => hell );
foreach ( values %hash ) { s/ell/it/g };
print Dumper( \%hash );

my @array = qw ( b bell c cell d dell f fell h hell );
foreach ( @array ) { s/ell/it/g };
print Dumper ( \@array );

The results were as follows, 
$VAR1 = {
          'c' => 'cit',
          'h' => 'hit',
          'b' => 'bit',
          'd' => 'dit',
          'f' => 'fit'
        };
$VAR1 = [
          'b',
          'bit',
          'c',
          'cit',
          'd',
          'dit',
          'f',
          'fit',
          'h',
          'hit'
        ];
