Yes, but tieing the hash while creating it, in my case with Tie::IxHash,
should preserve the inesertion order.
That works with for example
tie %hash, 'Tie::IxHash';
%hash = ("one"=>"1", "two"=>"2", "three"=>"3");
But not when I create an array of hashes using DBIx::Recordset like below:
________________
use Tie::IxHash;
use DBIx::Recordset;
...sub execute {
tie %main::set, 'Tie::IxHash';
*main::set = DBIx::Recordset->Search({('!DataSource' => $db,
'!Table' => $table,
'$fields' => $joined_col,
'$where' => $query,
'$max' => 10)});
....
