Question about creating a hash of key-value pairs based on sub parameters.

[Ben Siders]

I have a subroutine that will receive parameters as follows:

key1, value1, key2, value2, key3, value3, ... keyN, valueN

I want to create a hash of key1 => value1, key2 => value2, ... , keyN => valueN in the subroutine. I'm curious if there's a Perl "trick" to doing this beyond the obvious looping solution.

For example:

while ( some condition )
{
my $key = shift;
my $value = shift;

$myHash{$key} = $value;
}

What's my exit condition?
