Hey perl lovers,

I'm trying to learn perl, I have this code: 

%some_hash = ("foo", 35, "bar", 12.4, 2.5, "hello", "wilma", 1.72e30, 
+"betty", "bye\n");


while ( ($key, $value) = each %some_hash ) {
       print("number". $s++);
       print "$key => $value\n";
    }

This enters an infinite loop and the output is 
number0betty => bye

number1betty => bye

number2betty => bye

number3betty => bye

number4betty => bye
.
.
.

Am I missing something here? I was expecting the loop to print out every element in the hash, but it doesn't. Any help appreciated.

I just discovered that it happens in my debugger only. I have an ubuntu installation with perl, eclipse and epic plugings. I have the padwalker installed. When I step in to the loop, it results in infinite loop. When directly run, it works fine as expected.

I have come up with so many problems, i'll almost give up on perl. This is really frustrating. I spent a week setting up the box and getting perl running with the debugger, now this...
