Actually, I knew that, since I actually use them in Perl rather than
in C++.  I was just trying for the parallelism with the original comment. :)

Perl doesn't have what you'd call "iterators" per se.  To iterate over an
associative array in Perl, you do:

  for $index ( keys( %assoc_array ) ) {
    do_stuff_with( $assoc_array{$index} )
  }
