Hashes and stems are pretty much the same thing.

But in Perl, I can say

foreach(keys(%hash)) {
        # $_ now holds the hash key...
        do something....
}

Exactly. And instead you end up having to build up an list of keys in another variable, which isn't trivial if your keys have spaces or commas or other seperators in them.

Grr.
