Small comment: maybe we should avoid the use of the word "hash", since that's become a Perl term with lots of associations. Also, maybe we should have a breakdown of what Perl hashes are used for and how they map to different concepts and idioms in Scheme and PLT Scheme. (Someone who knows recent Perl versions better than I do would ideally volunteer...)

I'd like to see some discussion of assoc lists vs. hashes. I always use assoc lists because it's convenient, what are the advantages of hashes over assq/assv/assoc?
