Is it possible to iterate/loop/traverse over two hashes at one go? e.g I have 

%hash1 = (.....  (key value pair)
               .... 
                ....);
%hash2 = (....
          .....
          .....);

while(......)     #iterate both hashes at once
 {
  #process something.....
 }

How should i go about it?

Thank you all for the answers... all above for the answering. I am trying something on bigram techniques. where i have stored bigram count in one hash and word count in other.

What i am trying to do is: From looping those hashes at once, I want to take the value of bigram count and divide with the value of word count.

In case of ordering i used Tie::IxHash module from CPAN. Any better solution to the way i approached my work will be appreciated... Thanks.
