in thread printing hashes

My favorite is: 
print join(', ', map { $_ . ' => '. $hash{$_} } keys %hash), "\n";

    i absolutely agree with you, but propose to sort the hash keys prior to mapping the result: 
    print join(', ', map { $_ . _ => ' . $hash{$_} } sort { $a cmp $b } ke
+ys(%hash), "\n";

    @ anonymus monk:
    the sort block is what sort() performs automatically, so it's just a placeholder for any other sorting routine.
    perldoc -f sort will give you some examples and advices.
