I couldn't see any point in '@key_list' and am less comfortable with OO
than I would like to be but unless I missed something I think this does
what you're asking after you add '$self' back in.
my %foods = ( fruit => { qw / apple 1 banana 2 pear 3 / },
nuts => { pecan => 10, walnut => 20 },
);
sub hash_walk
{ my ($hash, $callback) = @_;
while (my ($k, $v) = each (%$hash))
{ if (ref($v) eq 'HASH')
{ hash_walk($v, $callback);
}
else
{ $callback->($k, \$v);
}
$hash->{$k} = $v;
}
}
sub replace_all_val_strings
{ my ($k, $v) = @_;
my $new = ++$$v;
$$v =~ s/$$v/$new/;
}
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%foods;
hash_walk(\%foods, \&replace_all_val_strings);
print Dumper \%foods;
