in reply to Traversing through HoH

You could do something like this, but it is certainly no easier or clearer than two nested loops:

for my $keys ( map{ my $k=$_; map[ $k, $_ ],keys %{ $h{ $k}} } keys % +h ) { print "@$keys : ", $h{ $keys->[0] }{ $keys->[1] }; };; a a7 : 7 a a9 : 9 a a8 : 8 a a3 : 3 a a10 : 10 a a2 : 2 a a4 : 4 a a5 : 5 a a6 : 6 a a1 : 1 b b6 : 6 b b7 : 7 b b4 : 4 b b8 : 8 b b9 : 9 b b3 : 3 b b10 : 10 b b1 : 1 b b2 : 2 b b5 : 5 ...

If you need to process a variable depth structure, then you might look at Data::Rmap or Data::Diver, but you may find them unsatisfying difficult to use.

Every time I've tried to use the former, I've ended up reverting to a recursive subroutine tailored to my particular use.
