in reply to Reference to hash tied with Tie::IxHash doesn't remember insertion order

Thank you everyone for answering.

Yet another solution is to give a pre-tied hash reference to the function as another parameter. But I'll go with the suggestions given here :-)

    Or just pass in a hash reference for the function to tie: 

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
 
fooFunc( \my %hash );
 
print "Compare this order to insertion order of fooFunc:\n\n";
foreach (keys %hash)
{
    print $hash{$_}."\n";
}
 
print "\n";
 
sub fooFunc
{
    my $h= shift;
    use Tie::IxHash;
    tie %$h, "Tie::IxHash";
 
    $h->{'donald'} = 'duck';
    $h->{'calvin'} = 'human';
    $h->{'hobbes'} = 'tiger';
    $h->{'mickey'} = 'mouse';
    $h->{'zorak'}  = 'bug';
}
