Dearest Monks,

I have written a piece of code to produce a sort of "Cartesian Product" of the data structure. But the code produces the strange output. Can any one tell me what is happening ? 

my %data = ( "one" , 1, "two",2,"three",3,"four",4,"five",5,"six",6,"s
+even",7,"eight",8,"nine",9);

my %newData = ();
while (my ($key1,$val1) = each(%data)) {
   if (my ($key,$value) = each(%data)) {
       $newData{$key1,$key} = "$val1$;$value";
       }
   else {
       last;
       }
   }

map { print "$_ : $newData{$_}\n";} keys %newData ;

The output is:
fiveseven : 57
nineeight : 98
twoone : 21
threesix : 36

Thanks in advance.
