Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out.
I thought that it would return the order in which the elements of Z_29 were found; it seemed to on tests.
I was interested in the order in which the elements were found, using exponents in ascending order.
I naively thought this approach would do just that, and eliminate duplicate elements.

Thanks!

    Nope. Here's what perlfunc has to say about that:
    values HASH
    ...
    The values are returned in an apparently random order. The actual random order is subject to change in future versions of perl...
    so there you go.
