each() and Table shortcuts

[martin langhoff <ma...@scim.net>]

hi,

	is there a way to use the excellent <table> shortcuts that embperl has
with each()? 

	I'm mainly concerned with a tied hash that hides a huge database, and
this approach :

	[- @keys = keys %large_db; -]
	<table>
		<tr>
			<td>
				[+ $keys[$row] +] 
		...
	
	will eat ram like hell, just to never release it ... 

	and of course I don't want to stop using Emperl's table shortcuts ... I
know how to do it with a [$foreach$] block ...

In this case a [$ while  ($k, $v) = each (%hash) $] is the only solution.
(You may get it working with Embperl's table feature, but then it becomes
very confusing, so I recomend to use while.
