Hi,
This is my first question here, so apologizes if is something wrong in my questions ...

Two questions:
1. Is there any hack / cpan module that makes something like next code legitimate in perl ?
Imagine you have a hash of hashes, and you want iterate over it, but you don't want to have to write foreach many times (only one better ;)). I'm adding three new features (foreach my @array, keys_it which return iteratively keys which are writen like "*" in its argument)
my %a;
$a{key1}{a}{key2}{b}{key3}{c}{key4}{d}=1;
$a{key1}{a}{key2}{b}{key3}{d}{key4}{c}=1;
foreach my ($a, $b, $c, $d)
(keys_it $a{key1}{*}{key2}{*}{key3}{*}{key4}{*})
{
 whateveryouwant with your elements of %a;
}

I'm boring writting foreach many times ;) 
foreach my $key1 (keys %{$a{key1}...})
{
my $level1=$a{key1}{$key1};
 foreach my $key2 (keys %{$level1->{key2}})
 {
  ...
 }
}

I know, this is a stupid question, but who knows maybe there is something like that, and I didn't found it !
2. Is there an hash shell explorator or even better an ncurses hash explorator?
Imagine again: 
%a={a => {b => c}, b => 3};
open FILE, "myhash.txt";
print FILE Dumper (%a);
cloes FILE

$ hash_shell myhash.txt
> ls
a
b
> cd a
> ls
b
> cd b
> ls
c
Thanks! Updated Jun 11th 2011: I found Data::DPath which is a concept like my first issue in this post ! Thanks!
