Perl, convert hash to array

Question

If I have a hash in Perl that contains complete and sequential integer mappings (ie, all keys from from 0 to n are mapped to something, no keys outside of this), is there a mean

Answer 1

Combining FM's and Ether's answers allows one to avoid defining an otherwise unnecessary scalar:

my @array = @hash{ 0 .. $#{[ keys %hash ]} };

The neat thing is that unlike with the scalar approach, $# works above even in the unlikely event that the default index of the first element, $[, is non-zero.

Of course, that would mean writing something silly and obfuscated like so:

my @array = @hash{ $[ .. $#{[ keys %hash ]} };   # Not recommended

But then there is always the remote chance that someone needs it somewhere (wince)...
