Hey everybody.

I was wondering if/how you can use the 'each' function
with a hash reference instead of a hash, i.e., how
doing you do this:

    while ( ($key, $value) = each(%hash) ) {

      print "The value of $key is $value\n"
    }

with a $hashref rather than %hash.

You get an error when you try to use $hashref as an
argument to each because Perl wants a hash.
