printf("Hello world\n");

Why is does this script:

	perl -e '
		$keyword{"one"}="ONE";
		$keyword{"two"}="TWO";

		for $i (%keyword) {
			print $i;
		}'

yield

	twoTWOoneONE

and not 

	onetwo	

I am trying to print the indices and the contents of the array thus:

	for $i (%keyword) {
		printf "the index is %s; the contents are %s\n",$i,$keyword{$i};
	}

Please enlighten me, I'm using the perl 3.0 (I have not access to
the patch program).
