Synopsis
values %hash
Description
Returns a list consisting of all the values of
the named hash.
The values are returned in an apparently random order, but it is the
same order as either the keys
or each
function
would produce on the same hash.
To sort the hash by its values, see the example under keys
.
Note that using values
on a hash that is
bound to a very large DBM file is going to produce a very large list,
causing you to have a very large process, and leaving you in a bind.
You might prefer to use the each
function,
which will iterate over the hash entries one by one without reading
them all into a single list.
