        my %sounds = (cow   => "moooo",
                      duck  => "quack",

                      sheep => "baa",
                      hen   => "cluck",
                      pig   => "oink");

        my @barnyard_sounds = @sounds{"horse", "hen", "pig"};
        print "I heard the following in the barnyard: @barnyard_sounds\n";
