Where in the documentation did you see an example like that?

You seem to have some vague idea of how each works, but your syntax is so far off, I'd have to suppose that you haven't read the man page for each, because if you had, you'd have seen the following example: 

while (($key, $value) = each %hash) {

You got three things wrong:

  1. use while, not foreach
  2. the pair returned by each is $key,$value not $value,$key
  3. you need parentheses around ($key,$value)

    But of course, if he wants to use foreach, then for completeness it's fair to remind that he can do so, but in connection with keys, not each:

    foreach my $key (keys %hash) {
    my $value=$hash{$key};
