Don't write loops on hashes, only on keys and values of hashes


Development/Libraries/Perl

When "looping over hashes," we mean looping over hash keys or hash values. If you forgot to call 'keys' or 'values' you will accidentally loop over both.

foreach my $foo (%hash) {...}        # not ok
action() for %hash;                  # not ok
foreach my $foo ( keys %hash ) {...} # ok
action() for values %hash;           # ok

An effort is made to detect expressions:

action() for %hash ? keys %hash : ();                             # ok
action() for % ? keys % : (); # ok

(Granted, the second example there doesn't make much sense, but I have found a variation of it in real code.)
