Dereference the hashref as an arrayref then ask for the keys:

@{$hash{adams...@keys} = @values;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%hash;
Thank you for both a solution and several other useful tips as well!
It's still not intuitive to me why we FIRST "convert" the hash to an
array, and THEN ask for keys - keys being hash-ish, rather than array-
ish sorts of things. (I've said that badly.) What exactly are the
elements of the array @{$hash{adams...@keys} ?
Thanks,
Chap.
