This is besides the point. The hash iterator is reset when an hash is
emptied (because hv_clear needs the iterator to walk the keys). I
believe it's natural to expect the same for arrays.

    $ perl -E 'my %h = (a => 1, b => 2); my ($k, $v) = each %h; say "$k:
$v"; %h = (a => 3, b => 4); while (my ($k, $v) = each %h) { say "$k: $v" }'
    a: 1
    a: 3
    b: 4
