Perl stores hashes in an order that facilitates fast lookup, which the
whole purpose of using hashes. If you need them in a particular order,
look into Tie::IxHash, which allows for ordered hashes, or consider
using an array. The hash:
%hash = (
'oigus' => 'foo',
'pohipakett' => 'foo2',
'reisitorge' => 'bar',
'pagas' => 'asd',
)
Can be expressed as the array:
@array = (
'oigus' => 'foo',
'pohipakett' => 'foo2',
'reisitorge' => 'bar',
'pagas' => 'asd',
)
and values retrieved in order.
