Hi guys !

Is there a way to run backwards on a hash (in exactly the opposite order that returned from keys(%hash) for example)?
I know that looping on a hash by: 
while (($key, $val) = each(%hash)) {

}

# or by:
foreach (keys(%hash)) {

}

will always run on the hash in the same order (not necessarly from the begining as in array, but still in the same order). what I need is a way to run on the hash in the same order but backwards, for example: 
# if I have
my @arr = keys(%hash);
# and @arr is for example: qw(4 7 2 1 9)

# I would expect to get somehow
@backwardsArr = qw(9 1 2 7 4);

Is there a short way of doing that without having to run on 'keys' from end (with indexes and stuff like that)? BR> Thanks
