You need to be careful with your language. Deleting an element after
a foreach loop would look like this
my @bar = sort { $foo{$a} cmp $foo{$b} } %foo;
for my $baz (@bar) {
}
delete $foo{$key};
@bar = sort { $foo{$a} cmp $foo{$b} } %foo;
I believe you are asking how to delete a key during a foreach loop:
my @bar = sort { $foo{$a} cmp $foo{$b} } %foo;
for my $baz (@bar) {
delete $foo{$baz};
@bar = sort { $foo{$a} cmp $foo{$b} } %foo;
}
You cannot do this; it breaks the foreach loop. It also makes no
sense to do it: the sort order hasn't changed because you have deleted
the an item, so why perform an expensive sort when you don't need to?
my @bar = sort { $foo{$a} cmp $foo{$b} } %foo;
for my $baz (@bar) {
delete $foo{$baz};
}
